The suspension of international development aid after the Taliban's 2021 takeover has severely disrupted access to essential services, leaving millions in dire need. By 2025, an estimated 22.9 million people will require humanitarian assistance, with 14.3 million facing limited access to critical health services. The crisis is further exacerbated by the return of approximately 1.3 million cross-border refugees in 2024, primarily from Pakistan and Iran, and an additional 500,000 expected by mid-2025. This influx strains an already fragile healthcare system, worsening gaps in primary healthcare, and nutrition. ltbrgtThe vulnerable population, face significant barriers to accessing healthcare and life-saving medicines. The economic downturn has forced many to adopt harmful coping mechanisms, deepening humanitarian needs. Afghanistan has the world’s highest infant mortality rates, with approximately 101.3 deaths per 1,000 live births in 2024. Malnutrition is rising, compounded by the country’s second drought in four years. Between June 2024 and May 2025, nearly 3.5 million children (aged 6–59 months) are projected to suffer from acute malnutrition, including 867,300 cases of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) and 2.6 million cases of moderate acute malnutrition (MAM). Additionally, 1.2 million pregnant and breastfeeding women (PBW) are expected to face acute malnutrition. From June to October 2024, 24 provinces, including Kabul, were classified as IPC AMN Phase 3 (Serious), underscoring the severity of the crisis.ltbrgtA study (June 2023–February 2024) revealed alarming mental health conditions among Afghans, with women disproportionately affected: 72.05% experienced depression, 71.94% suffered from anxiety, and 66.49% reported high stress levels. A recent multi-sector needs assessment by Relief International (RI) surveyed 745 households in Nimroz, Helmand, and Kapisa (45% female, 55% male respondents), identifying food and health assistance as the most urgent needs. Key barriers to healthcare include distance to facilities, high medicine costs, overcrowding, lack of trained professionals, and transportation expenses.ltbrgtThrough the 12-month IPHNS project, RI aims to address these challenges by expanding access to gender-responsive, life-saving primary healthcare. The project will establish three new health facilities and strengthen communicable disease prevention, early detection, and response by:ltbrgta) Providing medical supplies for disease management, b) Building healthcare workers’ capacity in case management, c) Supporting risk communication, community engagement (RCCE), and disease prevention awareness.ltbrgtThe districts covered by IPHNSnbspin Kabul were selectednbspbased on the prioritized geographic areas outlined in the Allocation Strategy Paper of the Health Cluster, and the healthcare package will follow the Basic Public Health Service (BPHS) framework, offering integrated primary health, nutrition support for children under five and PBW, reproductive health, and MHPSS, in line with Health Cluster priorities and AHF Reserve Allocation guidelines.ltbrgtGiven the high prevalence of GBV, RI will mainstream GBV response into health programming by:ltbrgt Training healthcare workers on protection principles, GBV response, and survivor-centered approaches, Emphasizing confidentiality and the Do-No-Harm principle, Training female staff in psychological first aid (PFA) to support women at GBV risk and survivors.nbspltbrgtThe project will target 32,700 beneficiaries, including 13,570nbspW, 1472 Mnbspand 17,658nbspchildren.

A total of 195 affected households will receive transitional shelter assistance, while 239 households will benefit from shelter repairs and upgrade support, targeting families with severely damaged homes. ltbrgt65 women headed households will be supported. Project team will coordinate with local authorities, Shura, and influential people to ensure that women and Mahram can access humanitarian services.  ltbrgt ltbrgtThe target areas have been selected based on the ESNFI cluster prioritization, focusing on regions most affected by natural disasters and floods. The project prioritizes the most vulnerable households, including women-headed households, families recently impacted by floods and earthquakes, returnees living in inadequate shelters, extremely poor families, persons with disabilities, pregnant women, and lactating mothers who lack the capacity to construct or repair their damaged homes. An approximate of 15% of beneficiaries are projected to be pregnant or lactating mothers, ensuring that the most vulnerable groups receive essential support.ltbrgtThese households face heightened vulnerabilities due to multiple compounding factors, including recent heavy rainfall and flash floods in Takhar province, severe winter conditions, the ongoing political situation, prolonged drought, and persistent economic and financial crises. These challenges have significantly weakened families' coping mechanisms and devastated their livelihood assets, making immediate shelter assistance crucial for their survival and recovery.ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtME will implement a cash-based intervention (CBI) alongside the direct construction of transitional shelters. Targeted beneficiaries requiring shelter repairs or upgrades will receive $550 USD in two installments, ensuring that funds are effectively utilized in alignment with the progression of repair work. This phased cash disbursement approach will enable households to procure necessary local materials and labor while maintaining accountability and adherence to project guidelines. Transitional shelters, approximated at the cost of USD 2,305.31 based on the ESNFI cluster design and current market cost. While the project will cover the cost of construction materials and skilled labor, to ensure sustainability and foster a sense of ownership, beneficiaries are also required to contribute, providing access to water, local soil and maintenance and storage of construction materials. Due to the rising cost of construction materials, the cost for the transitional shelter will be complemented by another donor of Mission East.  ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtWomen and disabled people will be encouraged to share their specific needs in those discussions, during detailed need assessments.

As per cluster recommendations (updated May 2024), the cash-based food basket is composed of 89kg of wheat flour, 21kg of domestic rice, 7L of vegetable oil, 9kg of pulses and 1kg of salt, amounting to a value of 5,800 AFN as per FSAC guidance, this project will be distributing 50% of the full food basket, coming to 2,900 AFN.lt/pgtltpgt  ltbrgtAdditionally, 842 of the most vulnerable small-scale arable farmers will receive additional support through the distribution of emergency agricultural inputs (Char Burjak: 128 HHs, Chakhansor: 17 HHs, Khashrod: 397 HHs, and Dilaram: 300, which will be listed under Khashrod in OneGMS). DRC will deliver a one-time distribution of wheat agriculture kits. The agriculture kits will be distributed via an in-kind modality, with DRC selecting the appropriate supplier to deliver across the four targeted districts. As per FSAC recommendations, kits will be composed of 50kg of certified wheat seed, 50kg of DAP fertilizer, 50kg of urea fertilizer, and transportation costs for 150kg of goods, coming to an overall value of $115.60 USD per household. Households will also receive basic training in agricultural production and post-harvest management aimed at reinforcing good agricultural farming practices and supporting the overall impact of the agriculture kits. ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtWhere possible, DRC will integrate these two activities, taking a two-pronged approach to meeting households’ immediate food needs while also investing in their long-term food security.lt/pgtltpgt  ltbrgtDRC has aligned the proposed response to FSAC recommendations for IPC Phase 3 4 populations. Target districts have been identified by the FSAC as priority areas for food assistance and emergency agriculture activities, and beneficiaries will be selected in accordance with FSAC guidelines, informed by direct food security indicators and climatic, economic, demographic, social, and nutrition vulnerabilities. Beneficiary selection will prioritize support for vulnerable and marginalized groups such as female-headed households and people living with disabilities through DRC’s inclusive, vulnerability-based targeting. This is based on evidence that women and persons with disability experience intensified challenges accessing the employment market, experience heightened financial instability and face greater food insecurity.lt/pgtltpgt  ltbrgtDRC has selected a cash modality for the food assistance activities, based on best practice according to the global Food Security Cluster Handbook. Nimroz is deemed to have sufficient market functionality to make cash a viable mode of delivery, with the basic food basket items (wheat flour, rice, vegetable oil, pulses and salt) readily accessible within local markets. Furthermore, DRC monitoring data from previous projects indicates that communities have a preference for cash assistance over in-kind assistance, as it provides them with the flexibility to meet their basic needs with dignity according to their own priorities. Approximately 41% of MPCA beneficiaries surveyed at that time requested MPCA, while 11% requested assistance be provided in an alternative modality (with remaining respondents confirming satisfaction with the assistance received). lt/pgtltpgt  ltbrgt48% of the budget will be distributed as cash for food assistance, and 16% is allocated for the purchase of wheat cultivation kits.

In the November 2024 Humanitarian Situation Monitoring, 74% of respondents in Ferozkoh reported that some shelters (26%-50%) had suffered severe damage. Similarly, Afghanaid's September 2024 needs assessment found that 46% of respondents in Ferozkoh prioritized shelter repair assistance. A Rapid Needs Assessment conducted by Afghanaid in March 2025 confirmed critical shelter needs, recommending financial assistance and training on safe construction techniques. In line with these findings and ESNFI Cluster priorities for this allocation, Afghanaid proposes shelter assistance for 603 vulnerable households, including about 15% female-headed households and 15% persons with disabilities in Ferozkoh district, Ghor. Based on identified needs and in coordination with other agencies to avoid duplication, including Islamic Relief, IOM, and ActionAid, Afghanaid proposes cash for transitional shelter construction for 155 households whose shelter has been totally destroyed and is uninhabitable cash for major shelter repairs for 187 households whose shelter has suffered severe damage but is still inhabitable and cash for minor shelter repairs for 261 households whose shelter has suffered minor damage. ltbrgtShelter repair assistance is allocated based on past experience: 60% for minor and 40% for major repairs. Based on Cluster recommendations, and considering market price fluctuations, design modifications, and necessary program adaptations to ensure the inclusion of women, girls, and persons with disabilities, values for transitional shelter assistance are set at a maximum of 2003 USD, while values for major and minor repairs assistance are set at 550 USD and 330 USD respectively, in line with the Cluster Guideline. Based on the ESNFI Cluster Vulnerability Criteria, the project will prioritize women or child headed households, households with a dependency ratio of 8 or more, and households headed by persons with disability or the elderly. Afghanaid proposes conditional cash assistance as modality. After receiving training on shelter construction techniques, cash assistance will be delivered in multiple installments, each released after completing pre-agreed milestones, in line with Cluster guidelines. Afghanaid will work the Azizi Bank for cash distribution, based on an existing agreement. Afghanaid will continuously monitor market access and functionality and may change the assistance modality to (partly) in-kind assistance as needed. Engineers will provide continuous technical guidance and support to participants. Through community mobilization sessions, staff will consult communities, gather feedback, and discuss anticipated protection risks, including risks for women and girls. Suitable mitigation measures will be incorporated into project implementation. Afghanaid will form participant selection and distribution committees, including community representatives, women and representatives of persons with disability, and Afghanaid staff. The committees will oversee participant selection and cash distribution, monitor the local security situation, and serve as feedback channel for community members. Women will serve on committees to represent female project participants and ensure their concerns are heard. With over 20 years of continuous presence in Ghor, Afghanaid is well positioned to implement this project. Afghanaid has an established office in Ferozkoh, excellent access, and strong relationships with communities and key stakeholders. Drawing on extensive humanitarian programming experience in Ghor, funded by AHF, WFP and FAO, Afghanaid will actively engage local authorities to secure approval for project delivery, ensure smooth project implementation, prevent interference in participant selection, and involve female staff to effectively reach women.lt/pgtAFGHANAIDAFGHANAIDAfghanistan Humanitarian FundEmergency Shelter and NFI675237.06675237.06Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAFGHANAID540189.65Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAFGHANAID133650.18Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAFGHANAIDXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-INGO-35115United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtIn line with the AHF 1st Reserve Allocation Strategy, NRC plans to implement shelter activities in the Badghis province of Afghanistan.

With 19.4 million people residing in high-risk earthquake zones and 2.2 million at high risk of flooding, the situation is critical. The deterioration of infrastructure, including nonfunctional water systems at the community level, healthcare facilities, nutrition centers, and schools, further exacerbates the situation, especially in rural and returnee-affected areas. The project intnds to enhance WASH access for PWDs through inclusive designs and targeted solutions.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtAdding to these challenges, on 20 January 2025, the US government issued an executive order (EO) suspending US-funded foreign aid, including humanitarian operations, for 90 days, followed by stop-work orders (SWOs). For decades, USAID has been the largest civilian aid source globally, funding projects in over 120 countries, including Afghanistan. The sudden USG funding cut has severely disrupted activities in Afghanistan. Acute watery diarrhea (AWD) and cholera remain critical threats, with 135,493 cases and 63 deaths in September 2024, disproportionately affecting children under five. In 2024, 43% of households had access to soap, 28% used improved latrines, with lower numbers in rural areas. Seasonal WASH challenges, droughts, displacement, economic shocks, and spring flooding persist. Economic barriers leave 20% of households with sufficient water, one-fourth using unsafe water, and one-third lacking soap. The 2024 Whole of Afghanistan Assessment (WoAA) highlights severe drought effects on 41% of rural households, impacting WASH services in 20 provinces, including Herat and Kandahar. ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtltbrgtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtDecades of instability in Afghanistan have driven large numbers of Afghans to Pakistan and Iran, with cross-border movements influenced by various factors such as economic needs, healthcare access, and security. However, policy shifts in Pakistan, including the "Illegal Foreigners' Repatriation Plan (IFRP)" introduced in late 2023, have led to a surge in the return of (558,212) undocumented Afghan nationals in 2023 alone. While this number has decreased to 315,100 in 2024, the expulsion of Afghans from Pakistan continues and mercy Corps is present at Inzargai camp responding to the needs. ltspangtIn Inzargai, WASH services are inadequate for repatriated Afghans, worsened by funding cuts, including those from USG.

According to the 2025 HNRP, 22.9M Afghans need humanitarian assistance of which 22.3M people need protection assistance. The protection situation in Afghanistan remains dire, with women, children, young people, and marginalized groups facing heightened risks. The August 2024 enactment of the MoPVP has further restricted women's freedom of movement, access to services, and participation in public life. Restrictive policies and bureaucratic hurdles hinder humanitarian efforts, especially those by women-led and disability-focused organizations. Despite these barriers, humanitarian partners continue to provide vital assistance, focusing on ensuring women can access services and engage safely in the response. It is estimated that there are 6.6M people who remain displaced internally within the country. These IDPs are already struggling to survive in temporary informal settlements, with this additional new case load of hundreds of thousands of undocumented Afghans from Pakistan Iran in late 2023 to 2024. Many returnees aim to resettle in Nangahar, Kandahar, Kunar, Kabul, and Kunduz. In response to increasing needs, NRC proposes to expand on an area-based approach supporting CRCs to enhance access to rights and services for returnees and displaced, in catchment areas of Kunduz and Kabul. Through proposed interventions: Specialized protection services, support for Community Dialogue, Community Self- Protection, Awareness Raising activities on protection issues and services, and Protection Monitoring as well as identification and safe referral to other services including longer term livelihood opportunities. Given the diminishing protection space and the need for safe spaces for women and girls, the center offers a secure setting where female staff, as well as women and girls in the community, can convene, share information, and access to services and livelihood opportunities. CRCs function not only as a hub for not only NRC activities but also for other NGOs, INGOs, and UN agencies. NRC has signed MOUs, allowing these organizations to utilize the space to deliver additional and complimentary services such as health, hygiene promotion, education, and WASH. The centrality of community participation and empowerment is integrated within response through community consultations and capacity development of community committees. ltbrgtFurther in this context, as vulnerable populations across Afghanistan struggle to access basic needs such as HLP rights are often not prioritized by people or humanitarian actors but must be safeguarded. IDPs, returnees and host communities must be empowered and supported to claim and secure HLP rights. NRC, through its ICLA program, aims to promote access to rights through legal support to vulnerable populations. This will be done primarily through the provision of legal awareness, counselling and legal assistance on HLP and related rights, including the right to legal civil documentation. This is particularly important as inaccurate information on entitlements in the current dynamic legal context can exacerbate challenges and frustrate displacement-affected persons, leading to negative coping mechanisms. Further, NR provides capacity building for informal justice actors to promote improved decision-making. ltbrgtincluding the head of villages and members of community councils. In addition, the participants will also be officials from the DoJ at national and provincial levels, to promote improved decision-making. Each capacity building training is conducted both for the urban and remote areas 3days. The proposed actions will be implemented over a 9month period in Northern Afghanistan Kunduz province (9 districts) and Central Afghanistan in Kabul province (7districts). These are areas with high numbers of IDPs and returnees, and different drivers of displacement. lt/pgt Norwegian Refugee CouncilNorwegian Refugee CouncilAfghanistan Humanitarian FundProtectionProtection583613.78114185.30697799.08Afghanistan Humanitarian FundNorwegian Refugee Council418679.45Afghanistan Humanitarian FundNorwegian Refugee Council279119.63Afghanistan Humanitarian FundNorwegian Refugee CouncilXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-INGO-35120United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtTo address the increased needs and prevent vulnerable HHs from resorting to negative coping strategies, WHH is proposing a 12-month project.

This covers 50% unrestricted cash assistance for basic food baskets, including wheat flour, domestic rice, vegetable oil, pulses, and salt.ltbrgt 411 MPCA for returnee HHs, disbursed in three installments at $150 each.ltbrgtWHH has budgeted for a 20% top-up to the MPCA value (equivalent to $30) for 16% of targeted households, anticipating these households will include persons with disabilities. Therefore, 33 households will receive the additional amount along with their regular MPCA. The direct cost for agricultural wheat and vegetable packages is 82%, while the support cost is 18%. For cash distributions covering cash for food assistance and MPCA, the direct cost is 81%, with a support cost of 19%. The project aims to assist a total of 4,660 of the most vulnerable households, including 32,620 individuals (7,992 women, 8,971 girls, 8,318 men, and 7,340 boys). Specifically, 8,823 are from Chemtal, 9,225 from Dawlat Abad, 7,286 from Keshendeh, and 7,286 from Zari districts. WHH will ensure that at least 16% of participants include persons with disabilities. Each of the 1,790 smallholder farmers will receive one round of agricultural support in the form of a wheat package, while 1,200 will receive a vegetable package along with three half-day training sessions to encourage the proper use of the inputs. The cost of the agricultural package for wheat is $118.23 (based on the market price) and the vegetable package is priced at $34.49 (market price). Furthermore, 1,259 vulnerable HHs will receive four rounds of 50% unrestricted cash assistance for food, totaling 2,900 AFN ( $40) per month for 4 months, amounting to $160 per HH. Additionally, 411 of the most vulnerable returnee HHs will receive MPCA, aligned with the Minimum Expenditure Basket for 2024, at $150 per month, totaling $450 over three months.ltbrgtFor cash support distributions (4 rounds for cash for food and 3 rounds for MPCA), transfer values will be $40 and $150, respectively. WHH will comply with its CVA SOPs throughout the project cycle. The organization will register and verify participant details, mobilize participants, and sensitize local leadership on activities prior to distributions. Participants with access to bank branches in regional centers will collect their monthly distributions directly from contracted banks. In remote areas, cash distribution will occur on designated days with community leaders present. Exact payment amounts will be provided to each participant.

Data collected from 12,009 key informant interviews (KIIs) across 58,222 settlements between 14 October and 3 November 2024 shows 72% of the population lacks sufficient water, with 60% relying on unimproved sources and 26% not treating water for safety. Water access remains difficult, with 35% of water points hard to reach and 47% lacking proper storage containers. Hygiene and sanitation are also concerns: 2% lack access to soap, only 67% have both water and soap in facilities, and 32% have latrines, of which 52% are improved. The survey covered 3,235 basic service units (BSUs), 401 districts, and all 34 provinces, with 1,773 female (15%) and 298 disabled (2%) key informants.ltbrgtKhulm in Balkh and Dara-e-Suf-e-Payin in Samangan are ranked at severity level 3 by the WASH Cluster. In response, Afghanaid proposes WASH assistance for 1,200 vulnerable households in these districts, reaching about 8,400 people, including 15% female-headed households. Based on needs assessments and community preferences, Afghanaid will implement a comprehensive WASH intervention to address immediate and long-term needs.ltbrgtThe intervention will focus on rehabilitating and developing dysfunctional water facilities. Hygiene promotion will include hygiene campaigns and hygiene and sanitation awareness trainings to educate communities on waterborne diseases. To support household hygiene, Afghanaid will distribute cluster pre-positioned hygiene kits and water kits.

This project aims to restore and improve access to safe drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene services for vulnerable communities facing severe WASH deficiencies.ltbrgtA March 2025 assessment conducted by DACAAR’s MEAL team found that over 60% of households in the target districts—Aqtash and Khan Abad (Kunduz), Sayeed Abad, Nirkh, Daimirdad (Wardak), Qarabagh and Giro (Ghazni), and Qala-e-Kah (Farah)—lack access to safe drinking water. Water quality tests revealed E. coli contamination in 75% of sampled water sources, making waterborne diseases like acute watery diarrhea (AWD) and cholera a critical public health threat. Additionally, sanitation coverage is below 40%, with open defecation still widely practiced due to a lack of latrines. The worsening WASH conditions, compounded by an influx of returnees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), have strained existing resources and heightened protection risks, particularly for women and children, who bear the primary responsibility for water collection.ltbrgtTo address these urgent needs, the project will focus on four key interventions:ltbrgt1. Rehabilitation and restoration of Six Water Networks to provide safe drinking water access through pipeline repairs, more households connection, chlorination, and improved water storage.ltbrgt2. Distribution of 2,520 WASH Non-Food Items (NFIs) such as jerry cans, buckets, and water purification tablets, alongside training on proper water storage and treatment.ltbrgt3. Hygiene Promotion and Distribution of 2,520 Hygiene Kits, including soap, sanitary products, and handwashing materials, with a focus on women-headed households and persons with disabilities (PWDs).ltbrgtAs co-cluster lead with UNICEF, DACAAR will ensure strong coordination with other WASH and humanitarian actors to prevent duplication, align activities, and maximize impact.

FSAC team presented the flood response Dashboard to its partners and highlighted the severe impact of the flash flood on May 17-2024. The flood caused significant casualties and damage in various areas of Ghor, including Chaghcharan City, Dolayna, Tulak, Sharak, Lal wa Sarjangal, and Marghab districts. A total of 2,000 residential houses and 2,500 shops were destroyed. Meanwhile, 400 other houses suffered partial damage.ltbrgtTo address the increased food and nutrition security risks and avoid the most vulnerable households to further resort to negative coping strategies, DCA is proposing seven-months intervention to support 3,917 HHs (2,953 HHs Food assistance, and 964 HHs Emergency Agriculture) 27,419 individuals in Charsadra, Dolyna and Shahrak districts of Ghor province through the provision of food (basket) assistance and agriculture kit. Each HH will receive full food basket valued 5,800 AFN. The HHs targeted for emergency agriculture will receive agriculture package valued 105$/HH.ltbrgtDCA will identify and select beneficiaries through baseline survey according to the pre-approved selection criteria and will register, and verify beneficiaries’ details, mobilize and sensitize project beneficiaries and local leadership on the activity before the distributions. DCA will conduct the distribution of food basket, and agriculture package together with the local authorities and relevant community members and elders.ltbrgtThe project will distribute food basket through reserve allocation /in-kind modalities in two rounds (50%) of the full food basket to 2,953 HHs, agriculture package in one round to 964 HHs in Charsadra, Dolayna and Shahrak districts of Ghor province respectively. ltbrgtA total of 75% of the overall project budget, amounting to USD 337,255.81 is allocated to direct support for affected households. Of this amount, 70% is allocated to Food Assistance Baskets and 30% to Emergency Agricultural Packages.ltbrgtIn-kind response food basket, at the 100% ration level, includes wheat flour 89 kg, domestic rice 21 kg, vegetable oil 7 kg, 9 kg pulses, and 1 kg salt to provide 2100 kcal/person/day.

Additionally, geographic isolation and weak infrastructure make access to markets, veterinary services, and energy extremely challenging. Overexploitation of natural resources, such as firewood, exacerbates soil erosion and deforestation, increasing the risk of natural disasters like flooding, following the winter season. Furthermore, while women play a central role in agriculture and livestock, they have limited access to income-generating opportunities and resources to enhance productivity and reduce negative coping strategies.  ltbrgt  ltbrgtThe project proposes multisectoral and integrated interventions in 11 CDCs of Yakawlang district (Podinatoo, Hazara Chishma, Duzdan Chishma, Deh Behbood, Zardigah, Khak Daw Ha, Koprol, Abqol, Koshkak Naqshi, Cheshme Pahloo, and Khorjeen Bplaqha) to address the impact of natural disasters: Construction of disaster risk reduction infrastructures, such as gabions and retaining walls to help mitigate the risks of floods on the communities Winterization cash assistance (2,821 people receiving an equal amount of 204 USD in AFN) to provide to the most vulnerable a short-term alternative to bush and tree cutting for heating, thereby contributing to the protection of natural resources and, income-generating activities for women, such as gabion weaving, implemented through a cash-for-work modality, offering economic opportunities while supporting the natural functioning of ecosystems.  ltbrgt  ltbrgtTo strengthen natural resources management, new climate-adaptive practices will be introduced, including techniques such as agroforestry to support revegetation, reduce soil erosion and improve water infiltration and retention. Energy-efficient solutions, such as household solar panels and clay-charcoal briquettes, will be introduced to reduce the use of harmful fuels, thereby decreasing CO2 emissions and improving air quality. The rehabilitation of retention ponds will help manage the impacts of droughts and floods on agriculture and livestock and thus strengthening the communities’ resilience towards future shocks.  ltbrgt  ltbrgtTo improve women's livelihoods, income-generating activities such as dairy, wool production, and quilt manufacturing will be introduced. Household-level kitchen gardening and tree nursery development will provide women with sources of income, while enhancing food security at the household level. Both interventions will enrich local markets and support local production. As such, the project strengthens the community's resilience to natural disasters, while promoting sustainable natural resources management, and providing economic opportunities through activities specifically tailored to women. At every stage of the project, the project team will be involving the communities and will ensure that assistance is provided through meaningful access to impartial services. Specific attention will be given to reach the most vulnerable individuals, including women, but also the elderly and people with disabilities. Post- Distribution Monitoring surveys will be conducted to assess the satisfaction of the beneficiaries with the assistance and the distribution process. In addition, activity monitoring will analyze the appropriateness and sufficiency of the assistance. A final evaluation will be conducted to measure the global impact of this project in the targeted area. ltbrgtlt/pgtSolidarites InternationalSolidarites InternationalRural Movement organizationWomen Cooperation Organization for DevelopmentAfghanistan Humanitarian FundEmergency Shelter and NFIFood Security332358.80467555.60799914.40Afghanistan Humanitarian FundSolidarites International319965.76Afghanistan Humanitarian FundSolidarites InternationalXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-INGO-35464United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtJohanniter International Assistance (JUH) has prepared to activate anticipatory actions to respond to forecasted drought conditions in Takhar Province.

The aim is to reduce morbidity and mortality while improving the health resilience of drought-affected populations in selected remote areas of three isolated districts of Pashtonkut, Gurzewan, Almar in Faryab Province (designated as "white areas") with a catchment population of 111,500 individuals. These areas were jointly identified with local public health authorities. The actions aim to strengthen health resilience in the drought-affected districts of Faryab, and JUH remains flexible to shift assistance to other locations within the province as needed.ltbrgtIn addition, Health services in the Faryab Mobile Health Clinics will be made accessible and safe for women, girls—including adolescents—and marginalized groups through the presence of female health workers or gender focal points, the establishment of women-friendly and adolescent-inclusive spaces, GBV mitigation measures, safe access to health services, and the provision of culturally appropriate, equitable, and gender-responsive care tailored to the needs of all community membersltbrgtDrought can rapidly escalate into a full-scale health emergency due to the scarcity of clean water for drinking, hygiene, and sanitation. Communities are often forced to rely on unsafe water sources, increasing the risk of waterborne diseases such as cholera, typhoid, and diarrhea. It also creates favorable conditions for the spread of vector-borne diseases. Additionally, drought leads to crop failure and livestock losses, contributing to food insecurity and malnutrition, particularly among children, whose weakened immune systems heighten vulnerability to disease and death.ltbrgtTo support the health system in addressing these challenges, while maintaining the flexibility to respond to potential disease outbreaks within target areas, JUH will rapidly implement anticipatory actions upon trigger activation. The response will focus on mitigating anticipated public health risks, particularly waterborne diseases, by expanding access to primary healthcare services through eight deployed Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams (MHNTs). These teams aim to promote best health practices and reduce morbidity and mortality from preventable illnesses.ltbrgtBy deploying MHNTs, the project will deliver treatment for common illnesses, including reproductive health issues, while also conducting disease surveillance to monitor trends and prevent outbreaks. This will be complemented by health education sessions in selected communities. Services will be delivered through mobile outreach and closely integrated with community-led initiatives, such as those run by community health volunteers and coordinated with Health Shuras, to encourage disease prevention and early health-seeking behaviors during crises.ltbrgtMHNTs will be flexibly deployed to hard-to-reach areas most affected by the drought. Their mobility enables a timely response to disease outbreaks. Pre-positioned essential medical supplies will ensure uninterrupted service delivery and a rapid response as drought conditions worsen. Active involvement in disease surveillance will support early detection and response, while systematic patient data collection will aid in health trend monitoring and program evaluation.ltbrgtThe program prioritizes accessibility, quality care, and strong community engagement to strengthen the local health system and improve overall health outcomes in drought-affected districts. By improving access to life-saving health services and enhancing the health system’s capacity for early detection and response, the project directly contributes to reducing morbidity and mortality. Through the integration of emergency service delivery, system-strengthening, and survivor-centered care, the project helps build resilience in both communities and health systems, laying the groundwork for more sustainable and equitable health outcomes.ltbrgtlt/pgtJOHANNITERJOHANNITERAfghanistan Humanitarian FundHealth251876.93123873.90375750.83Afghanistan Humanitarian FundJOHANNITER300600.66Afghanistan Humanitarian FundJOHANNITERXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-INGO-35541United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThe proposed 6-month intervention aims to provide anticipatory, life-saving assistance to approximately 14,380 draught-affected individuals in Badakhshan, Faryab, Sar-e-Pul, and Takhar, in line with the AHF Reserve Allocation 2025 strategy. These provinces are among the most severely affected by recurring droughts, with rising water stress, food insecurity, and protection risks, particularly for women, children, the elderly, and persons with disabilities.ltbrgtBuilding on its extensive operational presence in 18 priority districts under other programming (please see Annex 1), Acted will implement a multi-sectoral response combining MPCA, protection services for women and children, referral to specialized services, and WASH through women and HH hygiene kit distribution, and rehabilitation of non-functional water points. Under MPCA and WASH intervention, Acted will target 3 districts of Badakhshan: Keshem, Teshkan, and Shahr-e-Buzorg. The specific geographic focus for protection activities will target 9 districts of intervention: Badakhshan: Shahr-e-Buzurg, Teshkan Faryab: Gurzewan and Dawlat Abad Sar-e-Pul: Sancharak and Gosfandi Takhar: Chal, Bangi and Eshkamesh. The geographic targeting is based on the analysis of protection need severity based on the latest round of Humanitarian Situation Monitoring (HSM) and Protection Cluster Severity Anaysis, in coordination with the AHF, clusters, and anticipatory action (AA) partners to ensure efficient targeting, geographic complementarity, and avoidance of duplication. Within the proposed budget envelope, Acted will not cover all 18 districts but stands ready to gap-fill in areas underserved by other partners. Due to budget and time constraints, Acted expects to be able to cover approx. 3 to 4 districts across several Provinces. In parallel, Acted is in discussions with FAO to implement CERF-funded anticipatory drought response activities in Sar-e-Pul, Faryab, and Jawzjan, including support to livestock-holding households and rehabilitation of small-scale water management infrastructures. If selected by FAO, Acted will ensure strategic integration and complementarity between the AHF and CERF-funded components, harmonizing geographic coverage, targeting criteria, and delivery modalities.ltbrgtUnder this AHF-funded project, Acted will:ltbrgt- Deliver MPCA to vulnerable HHs (including a one-month transfer of $150 or 180 based on the CWG guidance and vulnerability assessments) in Badakhshan to help mitigate drought impacts on livelihoods and food security and strengthen drought preparedness.ltbrgt- Establish community-based Women and Girls Safe Spaces (WGSS) and Children Friendly Spaces (CFS) offering PSS, referral services, and awareness on available health and protection services, as well as distribution of 1,800 durable menstrual kits with reusable SafePads.ltbrgt- Rehabilitate 4 non-functional water points in underserved communities in Badakhshan to improve access to emergency safe water for drought-affected populations.ltbrgt- Distribute 580 hygiene kits, combined with hygiene promotion to reduce waterborne disease risks.ltbrgtActed will apply an inclusive and accountable approach aligned with AHF cross-cutting priorities, including:ltbrgt- Gender and disability inclusion, with specific targeting and tailored outreach modalities for women-headed HHs and persons with disabilities.ltbrgt- Integration of AAP and PSEA minimum standards, ensuring safe feedback mechanisms and community participation.ltbrgt- Provision for mahram-related costs and other access-related support to ensure safe deployment of women staff and participation of women beneficiaries.ltbrgtlt/pgtAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentAfghanistan Humanitarian FundProtectionWater, Sanitation and HygieneMulti-Sector673503.72673503.72Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development538802.98Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and Development121268.70Afghanistan Humanitarian FundAgency for Technical Cooperation and DevelopmentXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-INGO-35563United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtltbrgtThe overall objectives of Multi-Purpose Cash Assistance (MPCA) are to provide immediate relief and intend to be used for drought preparedness at HHs level to address urgent basic needs such as food, shelter, clothing and health care by offering flexible financial support.

Our current project ends December 31, 2025. ltbrgtWe want to extend the length of our project, add female doctors, add female psychosocial counsellors, make our PD17 clinic wheelchair accessible, and start a community health program that establishes 27 health posts in PD17 and 25 health posts in PD13. We also plan to hold focus groups with women and those with disabilities every six months and have surveys and feedback collected monthly from community leaders, suggestion boxes, and Awaaz Afghanistan phone calls. In addition, every two months we will submit data to Afghanistan Community Voices. ltbrgtOverall the project will focus on maternal and child health and nutrition and will provide emergency room care, antenatal and postnatal care, counselling for pregnant and lactating women, mental health services, family planning counselling, delivery care, pharmacy services, health education and community health through health posts in the community, malnutrition screening and SAM treatment for children.ltbrgtThe two clinics will be basic health centers. Each will have various clinical staff that provided services directly to the community. Each clinic will be surrounded by newly formed community health posts that provide outreach and education to the community. These health posts will also be equipped with a health kit, that includes basic medications so that they can extend the reach of the clinics out into the community to better serve those with disabilities, women who are restricted from travelling, and those with transportation issues.ltbrgtOur clinic in PD13 is a designated clinic facility and is wheelchair accessible. Our clinic in PD17 is a rental facility that we turned into a clinic in October 2024 and is currently not wheelchair accessible. Create a wheelchair ramp for that clinic will be part of this project. addition, the community health posts we set up will provide opportunities for community members to volunteer to support the health of their communities by going door-to-door to treat basic conditions and share health education messaging. They will be responsible for treatment of basic communicable diseases, family planning, basic antenatal care, malnutrition screening, referring individuals to the clinics, and providing education on maternal child health and nutrition. They will be volunteers from the community who are given a small monthly stipend and will be supervised by a female community health supervisor who is hired from the community.ltbrgtThe basic health centers will be open 6 days a week, from 8am – 4pm Saturday through Wednesday and 8am – 1pm on Thursdays.

The intervention is designed to reach a total of 309 households, 2,163 individuals, including 507 Women, 487 Girls, 597 Men, and 572 Boys. Out of the 309 households, 50 will be women headed households. Of this population, 16 percent are persons with disabilities, who will be targeted in alignment with disability recognized standards for the inclusion of people with disabilities in humanitarian programming. The beneficiary households, all of whom have been significantly impacted by the recent earthquake, will receive shelter support through a tiered cash-for-shelter approach. Specifically, the project will provide transitional shelter assistance to 175 households, major shelter repair support to 129 households, and minor repair assistance to an additional 5 households. These interventions are tailored to meet the varying levels of shelter damage and the specific needs of each household. ltbrgtTo ensure effective and transparent delivery of assistance, the project will follow the established procedures of the national Cash Working Group. Financial support will be disbursed in two to three installments, with each tranche contingent upon verified progress in shelter construction or repair. This phased approach not only promotes accountability but also ensures that the assistance directly contributes to the safe, timely  dignified restoration of housing for the affected communities. ltbrgtThe implementation modality for this project will be based on a cash-for-shelter distribution approach, designed to ensure efficient, secure  accountable delivery of assistance to targeted households. Cash transfers will be facilitated through a Money Service Provider (MSP), selected through a competitive procurement process to ensure transparency and value for money. ltbrgtFollowing the identification and verification of beneficiaries by the program and MEAL teams of Islamic Relief Worldwide (IRW), and in coordination with relevant local stakeholders, a suitable distribution site will be selected. This site will be chosen based on its safety, accessibility, and convenience for all beneficiaries, including persons with disabilities and other vulnerable groups. ltbrgtThe selected MSP will be responsible for delivering cash to the designated distribution points and ensuring its secure disbursement to verified beneficiaries. Prior to engagement, the MSP will be required to sign IRW’s Data Protection and Safeguarding Framework, thereby committing to uphold the confidentiality, dignity  protection of the communities being served. The MSP will charge a service fee of 1.25%,  the cash assistance will be distributed in two to three installments, depending on the verified progress of shelter construction or repair. This phased disbursement approach is intended to ensure that funds are used appropriately and that shelter works are completed in line with project objectives  standards. IRW will implement a cash-for-shelter program supporting transitional shelters, major repairs, and minor repairs for earthquake-affected households. Cash assistance USD 3,272 for transitional shelter, USD 550 for major repairs, and USD 330 for minor repairs—will be disbursed in multiple installments by a MSP, under the supervision of IRW’s project, MEAL, and finance teams. ltbrgtBeneficiaries will be selected based on vulnerability criteria, with a focus on women, girls, persons with disabilities, and other at-risk groups, in line with Cluster guidelines. ltbrgtInformation on CFM, including hotline numbers, will be shared during distributions and printed on beneficiary tokens. IRW will maintain a functional complaints system and coordinate closely with relevant authorities and the ES/NFI Cluster.

These districts are home to significant populations of returnees, internally displaced persons (IDPs), and vulnerable host communities including persons with disabilities, yet remain without adequate BPHS coverage, leaving families with little or no access to essential services. ltbrgtThrough this project, RI will provide integrated primary healthcare and nutrition services in line with BPHS/EPHS standards. Each BHC will deliver outpatient consultations, reproductive health (ANC, PNC, family planning), maternal and newborn care, communicable disease treatment, and basic mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS). Public nutrition services will include systematic screening of children under five and pregnant and lactating women (PLWs), treatment of Severe and Moderate Acute Malnutrition, maternal, infant, and young child nutrition (MIYCN) counseling, and cash assistance for caregivers of SAM children with complications to access inpatient care.  ltbrgtDisability access will also be improved by building ramps, putting up clear signs, and providing latrines that are accessible for persons with disabilities. Health workers in all five BHCs will receive training on how to provide inclusive services. ltbrgtAlthough the MCH handbooks already include disability disaggregation, RI will also include the Washington Group Questions (WGQs) in the register books. A new indicator will be developed to monitor how persons with disabilities access and use health services. The WGQ questions will be added to patient register books and used during patient screening to help identify and record clients with functional difficulties. This will support more inclusive service delivery and improve monitoring of equal access to health care. ltbrgtThe project will also strengthen outbreak prevention and response through provision of medical supplies, training of healthcare workers in case management, deployment of surveillance support teams, and implementation of community-based Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) campaigns. ltbrgtltbrgtBy expanding access to five strategically located BHCs, this project will improve health and nutrition outcomes for 44,000 direct beneficiaries and enhance resilience of host communities in Kabul’s peri-urban white areas.

Beyond the immediate destruction of homes and livelihoods, the disaster has severely disrupted community coping mechanisms, leaving women, men, girls, and boys impacted by trauma and vulnerable to exploitation, neglect, family separation, and gender-based violence. People with disabilities, unaccompanied children, elderly persons, and female-headed households face particularly acute risks.ltbrgtLed by War Child Canada (WCC), the initiative will contribute to the AHF 2025 6th Reserve Allocation by delivering an integrated package of protection services to 15,209 individuals (3626 women, 3790 girls, 3104 men, and 4689 boys) in earthquake-affected communities in Kunar province directly and Explosive Ordinance Risk Education (EORE) and Quick Response Teams (QRT) through Sub-granting to Halo Trust. At the core of the intervention is the provision of cash for protection and the establishment of safe and inclusive community-based Child Friendly Spaces (CFSs), which will provide structured psychosocial support, engagement of children in recreational activities, and life skills sessions. These spaces will serve as hubs for community protection initiatives, engaging women, men, youth, and children in building resilience and recovering from trauma.ltbrgtThe earthquake in Kunar has left many communities displaced and forced into unfamiliar environments where the risks of encountering explosive remnants of war are heightened. Disrupted infrastructure, collapsed buildings, and population movements significantly increase the likelihood of accidental exposure, particularly among children. Immediate Explosive Ordnance Risk Education is therefore essential to prevent further loss of life and injury, while enabling safe recovery and rebuilding in affected areas.ltbrgtIn parallel, community volunteer protection groups will be formed and trained to identify risks, provide first-line psychosocial support, disseminate protection messages, and connect vulnerable individuals with case management services. Through these groups, WCC will promote community-driven responses and strengthen local capacity to sustain protection networks beyond the immediate emergency response.ltbrgtThe project will deliver comprehensive case management to at risk individuals, including the identification and registration of vulnerable individuals, survivor-centred Gender-Based Violence (GBV) services, family tracing and reunification for unaccompanied and separated children, psychosocial counselling, and safe referrals to health, shelter, and legal services. Halo Trust as a sub-implementing partner for Mine Action activities of the project will be provided with support by WCC to coordinate and strengthen referral pathways for advanced mine action related services to reduce the risks associated with explosive ordinance remaining from conflicts in affected areas. WCC will refer a group of community members to Halo Trust teams for MRE and EORE sessions.ltbrgtBy integrating case management, psychosocial support, EORE, GBV response, and community-led protection services, this initiative ensures that earthquake-affected populations—especially women, girls, people with disabilities, and other at-risk groups such as child labour, unaccompanied and separated children—receive immediate, life-saving protection assistance.

To address these challenges, the project will deliver two core interventions, including emergency cash assistance and agricultural input support, targeting the most at-risk populations including women-headed households, persons with disabilities, and extremely poor families. The project identifies persons with disabilities as one of its key target groups and aims to strengthen inclusion and equity through specific actions. These include accurately identifying persons with disabilities during beneficiary selection, ensuring accessibility of distribution and training sites, disaggregating data by disability, and engaging local Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) where possible. lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtA total of 1,372 households will receive emergency cash assistance amounting to 2,900 AFN (approximately $43.30), equivalent to 50% of the full food basket cost (wheat flour 89 Kg, domestic Rice 21kg, vegetable Oil 7 kg, Pulses 9 kg and Salt 1kg), over a four-month period. This assistance will be distributed in two rounds to account for winter access constraints and ensure timely support. The intervention aims to enable vulnerable families to meet their essential food needs during the critical winter and early spring period, reducing reliance on negative coping mechanisms. The targeted households per districts include, 444 in Baharak, 493 in Faizabad, and 435 in Argo, which were determined based on FSAC vulnerability rates and People in Need (PIN) data.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtIn parallel, 3,172 households (1,025 in Baharak, 1,141 in Faizabad, and 1,006 in Argo), including 150 women headed households (HH) will be supported with in-kind agricultural inputs, including vegetable seed packages (with a minimum of four seed types) and essential farming tools. The vegetable seeds packages will include, tomato, onion, cucumber, and cabbage, which can be cultivated in those areas with short seasonal period. These inputs will enable vulnerable families to cultivate household gardens and improve their access to fresh and nutritious food. To ensure effective use of these inputs, beneficiaries will receive technical training covering all stages of vegetable production, from planting to harvesting, alongside regular monitoring and on-site support to optimize crop yield and promote sustainable practices.ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtThe project’s geographic focus is guided by reprioritized districts for the drought response provided by AHF, targeting the most food-insecure and isolated districts with limited livelihood opportunities. Beneficiary selection will prioritize the most marginalized, including women-headed households, persons with disabilities, returnees, disaster-affected families, and those experiencing multiple deprivations. By combining immediate food access through cash assistance with longer-term food production support, the project is expected to reduce acute food insecurity, enhance dietary diversity, and build greater resilience among targeted communities, ultimately contributing to improved food security and well-being in Badakhshan Province.ltbrgtlt/pgtMission EastMission EastAfghanistan Humanitarian FundFood Security540972.91540972.91Afghanistan Humanitarian FundMission East432778.33Afghanistan Humanitarian FundMission EastXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-INGO-37708United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThis project aims to contribute to the reduction of waterborne diseases and enhance the overall health, dignity, and resilience of the most vulnerable communities, particularly those affected by natural disasters such as drought.

The participant list will be managed per WHH's Data Protection Policy, compliant with GDPR. WHH will be on-site during distributions to verify details, ensure crowd control, and follow protection protocols to uphold ‘do no harm’ principles. The project is part of the multi-sectoral interventions launched by the AHF's RA7 to assist the most vulnerable populations affected by drought, hunger, malnutrition and displacement, delivering food security support to host communities, IDPs, and returning households through cash for food assistance and emergency agricultural livestock packages.  ltbrgtlt/pgtDeutsche Welthungerhilfe e.

Funded under the 2025 7th Reserve Allocation for Drought by AHF, the project directly addresses life-threatening gaps in healthcare access for communities struggling with the dual shocks of climate-induced hardship and systemic collapse.  ltbrgtAligned with the Health Cluster and Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) objectives, the project will ensure access to quality, life-sustaining primary healthcare for approximately 15,280 direct and 3320 indirect beneficiaries. Over an eight-month period, including a two-month preparation phase, PU-AMI will operationalize two Health sub centers in Kot district of Nangarhar province and one HSC in Parwan province shinwari district.. These facilities will provide an integrated package of essential health services, including curative and preventive primary healthcare, sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) services such as antenatal and postnatal care, skilled birth attendance, and family planning, as well as child health, immunization (EPI), and mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) through awareness sessions, counseling, and referral assistance.  ltbrgtIn addition,  the project specifically targets the most vulnerable groups, including persons with disabilities, the elderly, and pregnant and lactating women, ensuring that their healthcare needs are addressed in an inclusive and dignified manner.  ltbrgtA cornerstone of PU-AMI’s approach is its strong commitment to protection, gender equality, and accountability. Gender and protection principles will be integrated across all interventions, with particular focus on disability inclusion through facility adaptations and staff capacity building. Robust community feedback and complaint mechanisms will be established to promote transparency and responsiveness. Furthermore, all project staff will receive training on the Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA) and Safe and Dignified Programming (SDP).  ltbrgtBy strengthening the capacity of local health workers, enhancing coordination with Provincial Public Health Directorates (PPHDs) and relevant clusters, and reinforcing the resilience of the local health system, PU-AMI aims not only to provide immediate, lifesaving assistance but also to contribute to long-term, sustainable health outcomes for the most at-risk communities in these drought-affected regions. ltbrgtlt/pgt PREMIERE-URGENCE-AIDE-MEDICALE-INTERNATIONALEPREMIERE-URGENCE-AIDE-MEDICALE-INTERNATIONALEAfghanistan Humanitarian FundHealth290797.59290797.59Afghanistan Humanitarian FundPREMIERE-URGENCE-AIDE-MEDICALE-INTERNATIONALE145398.80Afghanistan Humanitarian FundPREMIERE-URGENCE-AIDE-MEDICALE-INTERNATIONALEXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-INGO-37742United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtAfghanistan continues to grapple with high levels of acute food insecurity, with 14.8 million people affected (HNRP 2025). The crisis is driven by the combined effects of a collapsing economy and prolonged drought, leaving one-third of the population struggling to access adequate food. Among those affected, 1.95 million people are classified in IPC Phase 4 (Emergency) and a further 10.64 million in IPC Phase 3 (Crisis), many of whom are resorting to emergency coping mechanisms to meet their basic needs. ltbrgtAccording to PIN’s Afghanistan Assessment Report (2024), an alarming 97% of surveyed households in Balkh reported having insufficient food over the past 30 days. Among them, 68% recorded poor food consumption scores and 28% were borderline. To meet their families’ needs, many households resorted to negative coping strategies, such as selling assets (45%), adults skipping meals so children could eat (60%), and borrowing from friends or relatives (89%), many of whom have already exhausted these options. Alarmingly, 80% of households are in debt, carrying an average burden of 31,260 AFN. ltbrgtIn response to the urgent humanitarian needs, PIN proposes a project targeting the Charkent, Marmul, and Sholgareh districts of Balkh Province. The intervention will provide four rounds of Cash for Food assistance to 1,570 of the most vulnerable households, helping them improve food consumption and replenish depleted stocks. In parallel, PIN will distribute one round of livestock support packages in each district, reaching 1,953 vulnerable households whose livelihoods depend primarily on small-scale livestock rearing to help reduce livestock losses and strengthen their resilience during the drought season. These activities will be complemented by two rounds of technical training on animal health, feeding practices, and drought mitigation to enhance the impact and sustainability of the assistance. Finally, PIN will conduct a livestock deworming campaign in collaboration with existing community-based veterinary networks in the targeted areas. This integrated response will provide critical support to households affected by the drought season, when Food Consumption Scores typically decline due to competing livelihood priorities. 1,570 households will receive 2,900 AFN per round (equivalent to 50% of the full basket as per FSAC recommendations) for 4 months, amounting to 11,600 AFN over the project period, while 1,953 distinct households will receive one round of livestock package support valued at 95 USD each. The targeted districts rely heavily on rainfed agriculture and livestock and have been severely impacted by successive shocks, particularly recent droughts. lt/pgtltpgtGiven the presence of functioning, well-stocked, and accessible local markets as confirmed by the recent market assessment (see under Document tab), cash assistance remains the fastest, most effective, and dignified means to address urgent needs under the Output 1.1. It allows households to meet their specific priorities, respond to local price fluctuations, and maintain autonomy and flexibility, while preserving dignity and reducing dependence on external aid. This intervention aims to bridge the humanitarian response gap in underserved areas, fully aligning with the 2025 HNRP and sectoral cluster priorities. ltbrgtPIN has been active in Balkh Province since 2001, successfully operating across most districts. Over the past two decades, the organization has established strong acceptance and trust among both communities and local authorities at the provincial, district, and local levels. This intervention builds on the long-standing experience in similar programming. Since August 2021, PIN has supported nearly 72,000 people in Balkh Province through Cash for Food assistance complemented by nutrition and hygiene awareness activities. Additionally, PIN has strengthened rural livelihoods by distributing livestock packages and providing training to over 3,675 households in Wardak and Ghazni provinces. ltbrgtlt/pgtPeople In NeedPeople In NeedAfghanistan Humanitarian FundFood Security99404.29599739.20699143.49Afghanistan Humanitarian FundPeople In Need559314.79Afghanistan Humanitarian FundPeople In NeedXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-INGO-37758United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtHealthNet TPO will implement this project in Adraskan, Kushk and Gulran districts of Herat and Kot district Nangarhar provinces identified as drought affected districts by AHF.

According to climate change models, future increases in mean annual temperature in Afghanistan are expected to be considerably higher than the global average, resulting in increased risk of drought and annual droughts in many parts of the country likely becoming the norm by 2030. Already, in four of the last five years, Afghanistan faced consecutive drought-like conditions which delivered a devastating blow to people’s ability to cope and an incomparable level of depletion of ground water, which in many areas is up to 30 meters deep.  ltbrgtSeasonal and climate-related shocks, as well as natural disasters, further exacerbate humanitarian needs across Afghanistan, intensifying already precarious living conditions. The potential shift to a La Niña episode by early 2025 raises concerns over reductions in snowfall and rainfall, alongside warmer temperatures, which could lead to drought-like conditions in key rain-fed agricultural areas, particularly in the northeastern, northern and northwestern regions.ltbrgtAfghanistan faces multiple, compounding shocks – natural disasters, climate changes, ongoing geopolitical and economic challenges, and frequent communicable disease outbreaks, high malnutrition rates that have significantly impacted health and nutrition needs.  In total, 7.8 million children U5 and women will require nutrition assistance, as well 14.3 M of people are in need of health services (HNRP 2025).ltbrgtThis project aims to fulfil the urgent life-saving health, MHPSS and nutrition needs of the people affected by drought and living in the hard-to-reach and underserved district ( Chemtal) of Balkh province as identified by OCHA for the health sector. By launching an integrated health, MHPSS and nutrition project. The life-saving primary healthcare, MHPSS and nutrition services will focus on the following interventions for the duration of 11 months:  ltbrgt1. Life-saving primary healthcare, MHPSS and nutrition services in Chemtal district of Balkh province through running 1 BHC 1 SHC . CARE will functionalize the health facilities in rental houses in the mentioned districts, where people currently don’t have access to primary health care services. in Chemtal district, ORCD managed a Sub Health Center (SHC) funded by USAID. However, due to recent budget reductions, there are currently no health services available in these areas, which have been prioritized for intervention by DoPH and CARE.ltbrgt2. CARE will cover a total catchment area population of 22500 people in Chemtal by providing health services (common diseases, basic trauma care, immunization and RMNCAH, MHPSS), as well as nutrition (OPD SAM/MAM and MIYCN) services. The services will be modified to meet the specific needs of the marginalized and vulnerable groups including Persons with disabilities, women and girls. ltbrgt3. The lifesaving PHC, MHPSS and Nutrition services in Balkh Province will be provided by a team of health and nutrition providers including 1 Medical Doctor, 1 Health and Nutrition Nurse, 1 midwife, 1 MHPSS counselor, 2 vaccinators (Male and Female), 1 nutrition counselor,1 CHS and 1 cleaner (Chemtal Center), for Chemtal (Nawsheher Alizai) the staff will include on 1 Health and Nutrition Nurse, 1 midwife, 1 MHPSS counselor, 1 vaccinator (Female), 1 nutrition counselor and 1 cleaner.

The HNRP 2025 estimates that about 22.9m people require humanitarian assistance, with health among the sectors facing severe gaps. Key drivers of health needs include prolonged drought, economic collapse, and climate shocks. Recent drought assessments by FAO and OCHA show that 19 provinces around the country have been severely affected, with dry spells negatively affecting water supply, agriculture, and nutrition. Drought has direct impacts on health and nutrition as it reduces water availability and hampers hygiene which leads to increased prevalence of diseases and strains the already vulnerable health systems. As per WHO and Health Cluster, health services in the country are disrupted by facility closures due to funding cuts, shortages of medicines and qualified staff, and lack of resources, particularly in rural and remote zones. Maternal, newborn, and child health (MNCH) services, immunization coverage, and health promotion activities are especially weak, particularly in areas where mobility, distance, and infrastructure barriers prevail.ltbrgtTakhar and Badakhshan in northeastern Afghanistan are especially vulnerable. In Takhar, health centers suffer from shortages of specialized personnel, and several remote districts have limited access to maternal health services and delays in diagnosis and treatment due to inadequate supplies and distance to facilities. Displacement and drought compound these issues by reducing food security, increasing risk of illness, and lowering immunity among children and pregnant women.ltbrgtBadakhshan’s mountainous terrain and severe winters sever access to health facilities as many remote villages have to travel long distances to receive primary healthcare or depend on mobile health teams that are often cut off. Furthermore, Closure of some maternity and obstetric services due to the recent funding gaps further worsen risks for mothers and newborns. Drought aggravates the situation by reducing water for hygiene and nutrition thereby increasing disease risk and reducing maternal health outcomes.ltbrgtTo respond to these needs, Concern proposes a 12-month health intervention in Takhar and Badakhshan, focusing on:ltbrgt- Establishment of three Family Health Houses (FHHs) in consultation with PPHDs to deliver essential MNCH servicesltbrgt- Integration of vaccination/immunization services into the FHHs: Ensuring children under 5 and pregnant women have access to vaccines such as measles, tetanus, polio.ltbrgt- Health Promotion and Risk Communication: Community awareness sessions on safe pregnancy and newborn practices through culturally appropriate messaging, vaccination importance, hygiene, prevention of communicable diseases tied to drought, engaging community leaders and health shuras to promote messages, using local languages and culturally appropriate channels.ltbrgtConcern will integrate protection, gender, disability inclusion, AAP, and sustainability across all activities. Concern will establish health shuras and Family Health Action Groups to disseminate health and hygiene messaging within communities and ensure community participation, ownership and decision-making. Female health workers will provide MNCH services to ensure safety and privacy for women. The health facilities will be accessible for People with Disabilities and possible outreach ways for people with specific needs will be explored through trainings CHWs and establishing Health Posts. The project will establish Feedback and Complaint Response Mechanisms in each FHH catchment area to ensure community voices inform service improvement. Concern will coordinate with local health authorities Provincial Health Directorates, BPHS implementers, and donors to coordinate services, avoid duplication, and plan for integration or handover to ensure the FHHs can be sustained or upgraded in future.ltbrgtlt/pgtConcern WorldwideConcern WorldwideAfghanistan Humanitarian FundHealth261815.26261815.26Afghanistan Humanitarian FundConcern Worldwide261815.26Afghanistan Humanitarian FundConcern WorldwideXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-INGO-37773United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThe humanitarian situation in Afghanistan remains precarious. HNRP 2025 estimates over 22.9m people in need of humanitarian assistance, with a significant portion requiring urgent WASH support. These needs have especially intensified due to prolonged drought, climatic shocks, and economic fragility. As per UNICEF, Afghanistan is experiencing its worst drought in nearly three decades, while a recent FAO assessment found that drought has severely affected 19 provinces of the country. WoAA 2024 indicated that around 80% of rural communities experienced drought in 2024, with water scarcity worsening as compared to previous years. OCHA climate outlooks warn of above-average temperatures and below-average precipitation due to La Niña conditions which reduces snowpack and groundwater recharge, further depleting domestic water availability. Additionally, access to hygiene and sanitation facilities remains at critically low levels as 57% people around the country lack access to soap and only 28% households have access to improved latrines. This leads to severe health impacts as well. In 2024, over 170,000 AWD/cholera cases and 87 associated deaths were reported. Also, communicable disease related to WASH such as diarrhea, malaria and respiratory infections are prevalent especially in children under five and ultimately contribute to poor nutrition. ltbrgtTakhar and Badakhshan, two drought-affected provinces in the northeast, face significant water stress. In Takhar, prolonged drought and drying water sources are forcing many households to fetch water from unsafe sources that increase health risk especially for children and women. Badakhshan, on the other hand, faces unique challenges. Its mountainous terrain, geography vulnerable to natural disasters and extremely poor population further worsen their conditions. Majority of Badakhshan’s rural population rely on spring to meet their water needs. However, their access to water sources is constrained by dysfunctional water networks that usually break due to heavy winters. Access to sanitation is limited across various districts and many families still continue Open Defecation, which contributes to the risk of AWD and other waterborne diseases.ltbrgtTo address this situation, Concern proposes a WASH response that targets the unique needs of communities in both Badakhshan and Takhar. The proposed project will include: ltbrgt- Construction of 4 gravity-fed/solar powered water supply pipe schemes in 4 communities of Takhar and Badakhshanltbrgt- Rehabilitation of 8 water supply networks across 4 districts (Yawan, Raghistan in Badakhshan and Rustq, Chahab in Takhar).ltbrgt- Implementation of the CLTS approach in 12 communities, targeting 9821 peopleltbrgt- Distribution of cash for construction/repair of sanitation facilities to 293 most vulnerable households.ltbrgtThroughout the project, Concern will mainstream cross-cutting themes and prioritize targeting vulnerable and marginalized groups such as women and girls, people with disabilities and minorities. Since this is a drought response, areas severely affected by droughts will be prioritized. Given women’s access constraints, concern will make sure that female programme participants are actively involved in the project through female staff and/or female community focal persons so that their needs are identified and their access to WASH facilities is improved through the intervention. As part of its commitment to AAP, Concern will establish a robust and user-friendly Feedback and Complaints Response Mechanism (FCRM) in consultation with the target communities and will ensure that the project team is accountable to beneficiaries. At the initial stages of the project, Concern will make efforts to equally engage women and men in the project and will disseminate information on project activities and criteria. ltbrgtConcern will align with the WASH cluster and other relevant bodies to maximize collaboration and avoid duplications in service delivery. ltbrgtlt/pgtConcern WorldwideConcern WorldwideAfghanistan Humanitarian FundWater, Sanitation and Hygiene848180.28848180.28Afghanistan Humanitarian FundConcern Worldwide678544.22Afghanistan Humanitarian FundConcern WorldwideXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-INGO-37786United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtltspangtWar Child is proposing a nine months project seeking to provide immediate assistance to vulnerable returnee from Pakistan and drought/flood affected children with protection risk and care givers in areas of high needs of Jawzjan and Balkh provinces in northern region. This project will build on the lessons learnt from previously successfully implemented OCHA-funded CP project in the same region. The proposed project will be implemented in underserved districts of Shiberghan, Khuja Doko  Chemtal and Charbolak, where the needs are high and continues to worsen. The Identifies areas are based on AHF and CP Cluster prioritization. The project aims to enhance access to specialized protection services and reduce reliance on negative coping strategies such as family separation, illegal/unsafe cross-border migration, early and forced marriage among others, caused by the impact of drought and flood. Despite community initiatives such as practice of mulching and solar powered irrigation, the people in project locations are facing a surge in food insecurity caused by declining water sources for farming and livestock. This is resulting significant economic hardships, severely affecting vulnerable children and care givers including pregnant women leading to increased protection needs.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtTo identify, mitigate and address protection needs and risk, the proposed project will collaborate with existing community structures and NGOs to identify and address protection needs within community, fostering ownership and ensuring sustainability of the intervention by strengthening the CP systems through establishing existing CBCPCs and CPANs conducting community mobilization through dialogue and engagement to identify protection risk and development of collective community led mitigation and response mechanisms. As part of sustainability, project will establish and operate community/home-based Child Care Centers (CCC) to provide structured and unstructured PSS, deliver positive parenting sessions and comprehensive case management services, including identification, referral, and support of vulnerable children with access to specialized services such as mental health care, education, livelihoods, and food assistance or through provisions of cash for protection.

The standard case ratio of 1 case worker to 75 cases per year, and 5 caseworkers to 1 supervisor for effective supervision will be adopted and applied throughout implementation of case management intervention. Also, a weekly case supervision session between supervisor and caseworkers to facilitate learnings, stress management and quality will be conducted. CPIMS + will be used throughout the case management process. This project will also support the provision of cash for protection through case management for the most at-risk girls and boys with protection concerns to reduce the risk of adopting negative coping mechanisms in the short term. The modality of cash delivery will be through one off cash in hand and the value is USD 200 as per the CPAoR –HNRP 2025 activity costing. ltbrgtThe project will be implemented in coordination with collaboration established CBCPCs, the CPiE sub-clusters in respective provinces, and other humanitarian actors working in the same locations to efficiently fill the gap, link with the other ongoing programs, and strengthen the local capacity to respond to the child protection needs in emergencies in the long term.lt/pgtWar Child UKWar Child UKAfghanistan Humanitarian FundProtection16467.84433104.10449571.94Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWar Child UK359657.55Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWar Child UKXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-INGO-37793United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThis project aims to reduce malnutrition and improve nutrition outcomes for children under five and pregnant and lactating women (PLWs) in drought-affected districts of Jawzjan and Sar-e-Pul provinces, Afghanistan. Prolonged drought has severely disrupted food production and access to nutritious diets, particularly in rural communities reliant on agriculture. According to OCHA and IPC analysis, both provinces remain in Emergency (IPC Phase 4), with Global Acute Malnutrition (GAM) rates exceeding the WHO emergency threshold of 15%.ltbrgtThe combined effects of drought, crop failure, economic instability, and displacement have led to reduced household food consumption and dietary diversity. Children and PLWs face increased risks of acute malnutrition, anemia, and micronutrient deficiencies. Women and girls are disproportionately affected, often sacrificing their own nutrition to support their families and facing protection risks such as early marriage and gender-based violence. Social norms, mobility restrictions, and loss of livelihoods further limit access to assistance, especially for adolescent girls and female-headed households.ltbrgtCommunity-based nutrition services and access to health facilities have been disrupted, hindering early detection and treatment of malnutrition. Immediate nutrition support is critical to prevent worsening health outcomes, reduce child and maternal mortality, and protect long-term development gains.ltbrgtThis 12-month intervention will directly target 16,314 individuals, including 7,458 women, 4,340 girls, and 4,516 boys from returnee and host communities. The project will deliver integrated nutrition support through targeted supplementary feeding and therapeutic interventions for children aged 6–59 months and PLWs suffering from acute malnutrition. Systematic screening and growth monitoring at health facilities will enable early identification and enrollment into treatment programs.ltbrgtChildren with Severe Acute Malnutrition (SAM) will receive Ready-to-Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF), while those with Moderate Acute Malnutrition (MAM) will receive Ready-to-Use Supplementary Food (RUSF). Malnourished PLWs will be provided with specialized supplements such as Lipid-based Nutrient Supplements (LNS) or Super Cereal. The project will also support infants under six months and their mothers through the Management of At-risk Mothers and Infants (MAMI) approach.ltbrgtComplementary activities include community health education on drought-adapted nutrition, hygiene promotion, and healthy coping strategies. Cooking demonstrations will promote the use of locally available, nutrient-rich foods and diversified diets. Refresher trainings for health and nutrition staff will strengthen capacity in Maternal, Infant, and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) and Integrated Management of Acute Malnutrition (IMAM).ltbrgtTo foster community support and sustainability, awareness sessions will engage fathers, male caregivers, and religious leaders to promote positive behaviors and encourage service utilization. The project will coordinate closely with Health, Nutrition, and WASH Clusters to ensure a multi-sectoral response, integrating nutrition-sensitive activities such as safe water provision, kitchen gardening, and climate-adaptive livelihood support to enhance household resilience.ltbrgtBy increasing equitable access to lifesaving nutrition services and promoting community engagement, this project seeks to reduce morbidity and mortality among vulnerable children and PLWs in Jawzjan and Sar-e-Pul. It will help mitigate the impact of drought on nutritional status, protect the most at-risk populations, and contribute to sustainable improvements in health and well-being.

These provinces are among the most severely affected by Afghanistan’s prolonged drought, with surface water sources drying up and groundwater levels critically low. According to OCHA’s May 2025 Dry Spell Monitoring and IOM’s climate vulnerability data, 56% of people in these provinces lack access to safe drinking water, and 33% lack access to domestic water. In Jawzjan alone, 65% of residents do not have access to drinking water, and 51% lack domestic water. The collapse and overuse of existing WASH infrastructure, coupled with increasing reliance on unsafe water sources, has significantly heightened the risk of waterborne diseases such as cholera, acute watery diarrhea, and skin infections.  ltbrgt   ltbrgtThe impacts of the drought disproportionately affect women, girls, and persons with disabilities, who face increased exposure to protection risks, including gender-based violence, while walking long distances to collect water. Displaced populations face additional challenges in accessing basic sanitation services, and limited household income due to crop failure further restricts the purchase of hygiene supplies. The drought also affects maternal health and menstrual hygiene, particularly for adolescent girls, and excludes persons with disabilities from services due to inaccessibility and limited awareness. Immediate humanitarian response is therefore essential to prevent the deterioration of public health conditions and livelihoods in these vulnerable areas.  ltbrgt   ltbrgtIn response, this 12-month project aims to improve access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene for vulnerable populations by delivering integrated, sustainable, and community-driven WASH services. The project will construct thirteen solar-powered boreholes with 10,000-liter elevated tanks and piped water distribution networks and will rehabilitate and upgrade fourteen existing water systems, including the installation of solar pumps to ensure sustainable water supply. To enhance long-term impact and local ownership, community members will be trained in the operation and maintenance of water infrastructure.  ltbrgt   ltbrgtThe project will construct and rehabilitate gender-segregated, disability-accessible, and safe sanitation facilities to improve hygiene and reduce open defecation. Community-wide hygiene promotion activities will emphasize critical practices, including the five key times for handwashing, cholera prevention, safe water handling, menstrual hygiene management for adolescent girls and women, and general hygiene education. A total of 3,131 family hygiene kits will be distributed to the most at-risk households, including items such as soap, sanitary materials, and IEC materials to support behavior change and safe hygiene practices.  ltbrgt   ltbrgtThe intervention is aligned with the 2025 Humanitarian Response Plan objectives, specifically aiming to reduce mortality and sustain lives through equitable and dignified access to essential services. Special attention will be given to ensure the inclusion and participation of women, girls, persons with disabilities, and other marginalized groups throughout the project cycle. The project will also contribute to improved public health, reduced protection risks, and increased community resilience in the face of ongoing climate-related shocks.

To create safe and supportive environments for drought-affected families, 8 Community Resource Centres will be established (4 per district, 50:50 female and male) where trained social workers will provide structured psychosocial counselling and awareness raising sessions. Case management services will be available for women and men. To help families address their immediate needs Tdh will provide cash assistance to most vulnerable families engaged in case management. A gender-sensitive, survivor-centred and inclusive approach will be applied to ensure equitable support for women and girls including those with disabilities, who face additional vulnerabilities from the impacts of drought. Tdh will strengthen the capacity of project staff, community volunteers and facilitators through orientation and training on protection principles, case management SOPs, safeguarding, and Prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse (PSEA).ltbrgtlt/pgtThe Terre des hommes FoundationThe Terre des hommes FoundationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundProtection29323.07351876.79381199.86Afghanistan Humanitarian FundThe Terre des hommes Foundation304959.89Afghanistan Humanitarian FundThe Terre des hommes FoundationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-INGO-37994United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThe proposed project seeks to improve access to essential healthcare and nutrition services for populations severely affected by drought across Kabul, Badakhshan, Baghlan, and Takhar provinces. The initiative will target two drought-affected districts in each province—a total of eight—where communities face growing health and nutrition challenges due to water scarcity, poor harvests, and limited-service access. In each district, the project will establish or strengthen one fixed health and nutrition center, resulting in eight centers providing integrated, gender-sensitive, and climate-responsive health services.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtIn Badakhshan Province, the project will operate in Jurm and Wakhan districts, both experiencing chronic drought, isolation, and limited access to essential healthcare. In Baghlan Province, activities will focus on Baghlan-e-Markazi and Dahana-i-Ghori districts, where drought and water shortages have increased malnutrition and communicable diseases. In Takhar Province, Farkhar and Namak Ab districts will be targeted due to recurring droughts, poor WASH conditions, and food insecurity. In Kabul Province, Deh Sabz and Bagrami districts will be included, where peri-urban and rural populations face health risks from water scarcity and inadequate sanitation.ltbrgtEach fixed center will deliver a comprehensive package of primary healthcare and nutrition services, including outpatient consultations, maternal and child health, nutrition screening and treatment, family planning, and vaccination support. Health and hygiene education will be a core component, addressing drought-related disease risks such as diarrhea, ARI, and skin infections. WASH activities—such as water chlorination, hygiene kit distribution, and safe water awareness—will be integrated to prevent disease outbreaks and improve community resilience. Community health workers and mobile outreach teams will extend services to remote villages, strengthen disease surveillance, and enhance community engagement in health promotion and climate adaptation practices.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe project is expected to benefit approximately 120,000 people across the four provinces, with a target of 60% female and 40% male beneficiaries, focusing on women of reproductive age, pregnant and lactating mothers, and children under five.

Considering the AAP, RCCE, and SEA principles, OPHA engaged the local community and PPHDs during the project’s design phase (checklists attached). OPHA proposes establishing 3 SHCs in the Barmal district, 2 SHCs in the Sare Rawza district, and 1 SHC in Yousuf Khail district of Paktika province as per the 1st reserve allocation 2025 and PPHD agreement letter. The project targets men, women, and children under five years, pregnant and breastfeeding women, and persons with disability of the host community and returnees. Proposed activities are outpatient services to beneficiaries of all diversities, early detection and treatment of acute respiratory infections, ANC, PNC, referral of institutional delivery, SRH services, IMCI, immunization, MPHSS services, nutrition screening, growth monitoring, MIYCN counseling, treatment of SAM and MAM and AM-PBW, micronutrient supplementation, and strengthening the referral of severely acute malnutrition with medical complications to a comprehensive nutrition center (IPD-SAM/nearest TFU) by providing referral costs and by distributing the phone numbers of BPHS HFs with ambulance services to the beneficiaries to promote safe referrals. These activities will target 14331 beneficiaries in Barmal, 3007 in Yousuf Khail, and 8200 beneficiaries in Sare Rawza districts. The SHC structure consists of a male MD, a female nutrition counselor, a midwife, a female psychosocial counselor, a nutrition nurse, and a female and a male vaccinators to cover the services under this assignment. The project staff efficiently manages the project with the support and liaison of OPHA's management team. Required medicine, equipment, medical and non-medical supplies, IEC, and health/nutrition promotion materials will be provided in multiple formats to ensure accessibility. OPHA builds and maintains close coordination with the stakeholders, including OPDs and regular project data reporting at the provincial level. OPHA is the health implementer in Logar and was an implementer in Paktika, Parwan and Faryab provinces, which enables OPHA to establish the PHCs in target province. The SHCs operate based on BPHS guidelines, focusing on integrated primary health and nutrition services, supporting RCCE, increasing community awareness on disease prevention, strengthening surveillance systems, building capacity, and providing trauma care services in areas of underserved and disaster-affected communities. As a cross-cutting matter in this assignment, OPHA considers the minimum gender marker code within the proposed projects. We ensure that gender equality and awareness activities are mainstreamed within the project’s scope. The project is a disability-inclusive concept in which we provide all PHCs with wheelchairs, ramps for easy access, support for disabled children with acute illness, and disability awareness activities/capacity-building. OPHA conducts monthly supervision, monitoring, coaching, and mentoring of the PHCs to ensure the quality of services and identify barriers and risks for persons with disability. Accordingly, women, men, boys, and girls of all ages, including people with disabilities, will benefit equally from the proposed interventions. 25538 individuals in underserved areas will directly benefit from the project. The project will cover a total of 10726 males over five and 19920 females over five for OPD services, including 16% persons with disability (4903), 920 boys and girls under one for vaccination, 1562 caregivers of children 0-23 for MIYCN, 754 children 6-59 months for SAM, 1175 for MAM, 827 PBWs for acute malnutrition, and 1242 children 6-59 for MMNPs.

Among these, HLP insecurity is a major challenge, particularly for returnees and displaced persons, who face forced evictions, land disputes, and lack of access to legal documentation. The absence of clear property rights, weak legal frameworks, and gaps in dispute resolution mechanisms place vulnerable groups at high risk of exploitation and homelessness. Increasing pressure on refugees in Pakistan and Iran will further exacerbate the situation. ltbrgtIn Kabul and Khost, many displaced families live in informal settlements with precarious tenure agreements, leaving them exposed to forced displacement and financial hardships. Furthermore, restrictive policies, lack of economic opportunities, gender apartheid, and limited access to cash-based protection mechanisms hinder the resilience of these populations, increasing their dependency on humanitarian aid.ltbrgtTo address the issue, HRRAC will collaborate with target communities, including IDPs and returnees, who are at risk of eviction due to unclear land tenure agreements and legal challenges in securing property rights. The project will also support women and female-headed households (approximately 60%), who face barriers in accessing civil documentation and legal services, increasing their vulnerability to eviction and economic exploitation. Additionally, it will focus on marginalized groups, such as households with persons with disabilities, the elderly, orphans, and minority ethnic communities, who are often excluded from property ownership and financial assistance programs.ltbrgtA crucial aspect of the project is engaging with host communities, who are experiencing resource competition due to increased demand for land and housing, leading to tensions between local residents and displaced populations. By fostering inclusive and equitable solutions, HRRAC aims to promote social cohesion and sustainable housing access for all affected groups.ltbrgtThe proposed project interventions include a comprehensive approach to support vulnerable communities by providing legal aid, awareness and counselling, and cash assistance. The key objectives include:ltbrgtHRRAC will offer legal aid and representation to help IDPs and returnees claim their Housing, Land, and Property (HLP) rights and obtain civil documentation. Additionally, the project will conduct awareness sessions on land rights, inheritance laws, and tenancy regulations, with a specific focus on women and marginalized groups, ensuring they have the knowledge and resources to secure their legal rights. To strengthen protection and dispute resolution, HRRAC will establish community-based legal assistance networks to facilitate mediation for land disputes and promote equitable resolution mechanisms. The project will also reinforce traditional mediation structures and engage with local authorities to enhance access to fair and transparent legal recourse.ltbrgtAs part of its cash-based protection interventions, HRRAC will provide financial assistance to 820 vulnerable households 60% of whom are WHH, with the amount of $200 equivalent in AFN.

According to the 2024 WoAA, 41% of rural households have experienced severe drought, placed immense strain on both urban and rural WASH services. Seasonal hazards, such as flooding and outbreaks of AWD and cholera, further exacerbate the crisis, particularly during the spring and summer months. A large portion of the population lacks access to safe water and sanitation. Currently, 23% of households rely on unimproved water sources, and 39% of districts report inadequate water access due to dried-up sources, long distances to water points, or financial constraints. Sanitation facilities are similarly lacking, with 28% of households using unimproved latrines and 9% still practicing open defecation. The ongoing crisis has contributed to severe public health risks, as evidenced by the 135,493 AWD/cholera cases recorded in September 2024, with children under five accounting for 55% of cases (Ref: Afghanistan HNRP 2025 issued in Dec 2024). ltbrgtPer the MRAT assessment 2024, The eastern region faces significant WASH challenges due to climate shocks, returnee influx, and inadequate infrastructure. The high number of Afghan returnees from Pakistan has further strained limited resources, making access to clean water and sanitation facilities a pressing concern. 60.5% of affected people do not have access sufficient drinking water. Moreover, 76.5% affected people reported that latrines are not safe for women and 10.6% still practicing open defecation. Additionally, 89.6% people reported not having access to functional and accessible handwashing facility and soap. ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtDuring the project design stage, leveraging OCHR active presence in the targeted areas, OCHR field teams conducted two FGDs per districts, ensuring participation from both male and female community members. Separate meetings were also held with community elders, women representatives, persons with disabilities, and returnees to capture their insights, needs, and perspectives regarding the type and modality of interventions planned under this project.ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtTo address the critical WASH needs of 57,600 vulnerable individuals in five targeted districts of Kunar province, OCHR has proposed a comprehensive intervention aimed at improving access to WASH services.ltbrgtAs part of this initiative, OCHR will rehabilitate two (02) solar-powered piped water systems and three (03) gravity-fed piped water systems, while also rehabilitating/constructing four (04) solar-powered piped systems and one (01) gravity-fed piped systems. These improvements will significantly reduce the burden on women and girls, who currently spend an average of more than 20 minutes per trip to reach a water point.ltbrgtTo improve access to sanitation service, OCHR will provide in-kind support to 200 of the most vulnerable HHs to repair their latrines, ensuring safe, gender-appropriate, and hygienic sanitation facilities, particularly in areas affected by AWD. To further promote hygiene and sanitation practices, 3840 awareness sessions will be conducted, with a focus on handwashing with soap at critical times. Following these sessions, 2,250 family hygiene kits will be distributed to the most vulnerable households, particularly in areas affected by AWD.ltbrgtFurthermore, as part of its WASH in Schools initiative, OCHR will equip four schools with handwashing facilities, improved sanitation infrastructure, and access to safe water systems, ensuring a healthier learning environment for students. These interventions are designed to enhance public health, reduce disease outbreaks, and improve overall WASH conditions for the most vulnerable and under-served communities in Kunar province.ltbrgtTo ensure Communication and Community engagement will provide regular awareness to the project beneficiaries using tools and guidelines the AAP-TWG has developed.

With this high level of need, the project will target these areas specifically to mitigate food insecurity and support long-term recovery. The project will focus on several high-risk districts across Kabul Province, including Khak-e-Jabbar, Mir Bacha Kot, Musahi, and Surobi, where food insecurity is prevalent, and access to essential services is limited.ltbrgtThe proposed project aims to address the urgent food security needs of vulnerable populations in Kabul Province, directly benefiting 41,328 individuals (50% male and 50% female). A key focus will be on individuals facing heightened vulnerability, including persons with disabilities (16% of beneficiaries, or 6,552 individuals: 3,276 male and 3,276 female) and women-headed households, who are disproportionately affected by food insecurity and economic shocks. The project will also provide vegetable support packages to 5904 households, including locally appropriate vegetable seeds (1 kg, comprising 250g of each vegetable type such as cucumbers, peppers, onions, spinach) and essential tools to allow households to produce their own nutrient-rich food, addressing dietary diversity and improving nutrition.ltbrgtThe intervention aligns with the 2025 FSAC priorities, which focus on addressing critical food security gaps and supporting vulnerable communities. The combination of agricultural (vegetable kit) support ensures that beneficiaries will receive immediate relief while also building long-term resilience. The project will also prioritize the protection of vulnerable populations, including women, girls, and persons with disabilities, throughout its design and implementation. Gender-responsive programming will be integral, with a focus on inclusion, participation, and protection. Special measures will ensure that women-headed households, individuals with disabilities, and other marginalized groups receive targeted support. This will include specific outreach and selection based on vulnerability criteria, such as household income, female-headed status, and disability status. Furthermore, the cash transfer mechanism will be designed to be safe, inclusive, and accessible, ensuring that women and persons with disabilities can easily access their assistance without facing barriers.ltbrgtMonitoring and evaluation will be central to the project’s design, with regular data collection and feedback loops integrated throughout implementation.

HRRAC will directly implement the full range of child protection activities in Helmand while providing technical guidance and coordination oversight in Nimroz and Zabul to ensure quality and consistency across all three provinces.ltbrgtThe primary objective of this intervention is to strengthen access to lifesaving child protection services for the most at-risk children and families. Trained caseworkers will deliver structured case management services for at least 600 vulnerable children, including safe identification, individual care planning, referrals (e.g., MHPSS, health, legal), and follow-up. Each child supported under case management will receive $200 in cash assistance, based on assessed needs and risk severity. Case management will be documented through CPIMS+ Primero to ensure confidentiality, accountability, and appropriate case follow-up. High-risk cases will be referred to local specialized service providers in coordination with existing humanitarian networks.ltbrgtTo address urgent psychosocial needs, HRRAC will establish and operationalize 12 Child-Friendly Spaces (CFS) across the three provinces. Through these safe, structured spaces, trained caseworkers will deliver group-based Psychosocial Support (PSS) sessions to girls and boys, supporting emotional regulation, coping skills, peer interaction, and protection awareness. The CFSs will also offer Psychological First Aid (PFA) and function as safe entry points for referrals and child protection messaging.ltbrgtIn-kind assistance will complement protection efforts through the distribution of 4,800 winterization kits to vulnerable children identified through community mobilization and caseworker referrals, especially targeting children with disabilities and those from high-risk households.ltbrgtCommunity mobilizers will lead community engagement, support beneficiary identification, and raise awareness of protection risks and services. In parallel, structured parenting sessions will be conducted for caregivers using HRRAC’s culturally adapted curriculum.

Classified as Phase 3 (crisis-level) for acute malnutrition by the IPC AMN report, Sar-e-Pul faces severe food insecurity, limited health service access, and poor water and sanitation infrastructure, with 70% of the population lacking safe water and a projected 40% reduction in water access due to the drought. Targeting women, girls, returnees, and host communities—particularly the 51% female population and children under five—this initiative aligns with the AHF anticipatory action framework to prevent escalation of drought-driven crises.ltbrgtUpon the April trigger activation, OHW will reactivate three health facilities closed in 2024 by deploying nutrition specialists, supplying essential equipment, and rehabilitating water and sanitation systems to restore comprehensive health and nutrition services. Concurrently, four Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams (MHNTs)—one in Gosfandi, two in Sancharik, and one in Suzmaqala—will deliver maternal care (addressing the 30% antenatal care coverage gap), mental health support, and nutrition services in remote areas. Emergency medical supplies, including rehydration salts and antibiotics, will be pre-positioned to combat waterborne diseases, which account for 25% of child morbidity, and dehydration. Nutrition interventions will include malnutrition screening for children under five and pregnant or breastfeeding women, Breast Milk Substitute (BMS) monitoring, and counseling to sustain feeding practices amid resource scarcity, responding to the anticipated rise in acute malnutrition from 15% to 25%. Community education, delivered through gender-sensitive sessions led by female staff, will promote water conservation, hygiene, and malnutrition prevention, while enhanced disease surveillance will enable early detection and response to outbreaks. OHW aims to reach 80% of the target population within six months, reducing acute malnutrition by 25%, preventing avoidable deaths, and addressing the high maternal mortality rate (738 per 100,000 live births). Robust monitoring, using sex- and age-disaggregated data, will track service access, health outcomes, and community feedback, ensuring adaptive interventions. By restoring health infrastructure and fostering community resilience, this project equips Sar-e-Pul to withstand future drought impacts, delivering lasting health and nutrition benefits.ltbrgtlt/pgtORGANIZATION OF HUMAN WELFAREORGANIZATION OF HUMAN WELFAREAfghanistan Humanitarian FundHealthNutrition221851.8432749.56254601.40Afghanistan Humanitarian FundORGANIZATION OF HUMAN WELFARE127300.70Afghanistan Humanitarian FundORGANIZATION OF HUMAN WELFARE127300.70Afghanistan Humanitarian FundORGANIZATION OF HUMAN WELFAREXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-NGO-35512United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtFaryab province continues to experience severe challenges related to acute malnutrition, which is explicit particularly among PLWs and children under five years of age, especially in the districts of Pashtun Kot, Khwaja Sabz Posh, Bilcheragh, Garzewan, Dawlat Abad, and Almar. The cumulative effects of prolonged food insecurity, inadequate WASH services, and limited access to primary healthcare, disease, Suboptimal childcare and nutrition practices, hygiene, gender restriction and socioeconomic barriers have led to substantial increase in malnutrition rates. As of 2025, the number of districts nationally classified as IPC Acute Malnutrition Severity Level 3 (serious) has tripled from 19 in 2024 to 56 in 2025.ltbrgtAccording to the Afghanistan Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP) 2025, an estimated 7.8 million children under five and PLWs require nutrition assistance, including 3.5 million acutely malnourished children and over 1.1 million malnourished women in need of urgent treatment.

According to the 2024 WoAA, 41% of rural households (HHs) have experienced severe drought, placing strain on both urban and rural WASH services. Seasonal hazards, such as flooding and outbreaks of AWD and cholera, further exacerbate the crisis, particularly during the spring and summer months. Currently, 23% of HHs rely on unimproved water sources, and 39% of districts report inadequate water access due to dried-up sources, long distances to water points, or financial constraints. Sanitation facilities are similarly lacking, with 28% of HHs using unimproved latrines and 9% still practicing open defecation. The ongoing crisis has contributed to severe public health risks, as evidenced by the 135,493 AWD/cholera cases recorded in September 2024, with children under five accounting for 55% of cases (Ref: Afghanistan HNRP 2025 issued in Dec 2024). ltbrgtAs of 2025, northern Afghanistan faces significant humanitarian challenges, with 3.2 million people identified as being in need of humanitarian assistance. In response, humanitarian actors aim to reach 2.7 million individuals across the region, representing approximately 84% of the total population in need. In Sar-e-Pul, the humanitarian situation is similarly dire, with 453,000 individuals identified as needing support. Humanitarian plans aim to assist 381,000 people, including 103,000 individuals specifically targeted for WASH emergency response, reflecting urgent public health and sanitation needs within the province (Ref: Afghanistan HNRP 2025 Northern Region). In Sar-e-Pul, 92.5% of sanitation facilities are not disability-friendly, leaving tens of thousands of persons with disabilities unable to safely access latrines, water points, or hygiene facilities. (Ref: Joint MRAT 2024)ltbrgtTo address the critical WASH needs of 43,000 vulnerable individuals including 20% persons with disability in Sozmaqala, Snacharak, and Gosfandi targeted districts of Sar-e-Pul province, OCHR has proposed a comprehensive intervention aimed at improving access to WASH services to mitigate the risk of waterborne diseases and negative coping mechanisms during the anticipated drought.ltbrgtAs part of clean drinking water initiative, OCHR will rehabilitate/construct seven water schemes. These improvements will significantly reduce the burden on women and girls, who currently spend an average of more than 30 minutes per trip to reach a water point. To address the different needs of women and girls, OCHR will ensure that these water schemes are designed with equitable accessibility in mind. In addition, OCHR field staff will train 40 community members on water quality testing and treatment and will equip them with necessary water testing and treatment materials. ltbrgtIn addition to improving access to sanitation services, OCHR will provide in-kind support to 630 of the most vulnerable HHs (210 per targeted district) to repair their latrines, ensuring safe, gender-appropriate, and hygienic sanitation facilities, particularly in areas at risk of drought. The design and rehabilitation of latrines will include disability-friendly features such as handrails, ramps, and space for assistive devices, in response to the current lack of accessible facilities for persons with disabilities (92.5%). To further improve the sanitation and hygiene practices, 615 awareness sessions will be conducted, with a focus on handwashing with soap at critical times. Following these sessions, OCHR will equip 6,143 families including 20% FHHs with safe water storage supplies including purification tablets with priority given to households with persons with disabilities who often face additional logistical and financial barriers in accessing clean water. This helps improve household-level water storage and reduces the risk of contamination, especially during a drought when water resources may be more limited. ltbrgtlt/pgtOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian ReliefOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian ReliefAfghanistan Humanitarian FundWater, Sanitation and Hygiene642107.00642107.00Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian Relief513685.60Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian Relief128421.40Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian ReliefXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-NGO-35538United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThis project seeks to deliver emergency Health and Nutrition services to the most drought-affected areas of Badakhshan province by deploying eight Mobile Health and Nutrition Teams (MHNTs) with an aim to enable communities to make informed decisions, mitigate increase in morbidity and mortality related to drought, maternal, and acute malnutrition especially among children under 5 and PLW prevent the outbreak of communicable diseases, mitigate risks of diseases with epidemic potential, and strengthen early detection of epidemic-prone diseases. These teams will provide:ltbrgt Early Warning Disseminationltbrgtlt/pgtltpgt PHC Consultationsltbrgt Maternal (ANC, PNC, SBA, Family Planning, etc.) and Child Health Supportltbrgt MHPSS Consultationsltbrgt Community Sensitization and Awareness Raisingltbrgt Infection Prevention Control (IPC)ltbrgt Management of Newborn and Childhood Illnesses (MNCI)ltbrgt Surveillance and First Response to Disease Outbreaksltbrgt Reproductive Health Kitsltbrgt Referral of Patients with Obstetrical Complicationsltbrgt Screening for Early Detection of Malnutrition and Active Case Findingltbrgt Treatment of SAM and MAM among Children lt5gtlt/pgtltpgt Maternal, Infant, Young Children Nutrition (MIYCN) Counselingltbrgt Monitoring of Breast Milk Substitutes (BMS)  Code Adherenceltbrgt Support for Transportation to Therapeutic Feeding Units through Cash for Nutritionltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtThis project will also include protection activities:ltbrgt Protection monitoring, risk identification, and case referralsltbrgt PSS support, GBV response, and referralltbrgt Community-based protection activitiesltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtTwo MHNTs will be deployed to each target district. In total, the project will cover 56,000 individuals (20000 women, 4000 men, 32000 children - 16640 girls, 15360 boys) through above services in below 4 prioritized districts of Badakhshan province:ltbrgt 14000 individuals in Shahre Buzurg (Badakhshan)ltbrgt 14000 individuals in Kishem (Badakhshan)ltbrgt 14000 individuals in Arghanj Khwah (Badakhshan)lt/pgtltpgt 14000 individuals in Teshkan District (Badakhshan)ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtltbrgtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtltspangtEach team will cover at least10 villages within each target district.

These priorities aim to ensure inclusive, gender-sensitive, and accessible health services for the most vulnerable populations, including women, girls, and persons with disabilities.ltbrgt1.Expanding Access to Primary Health Care through Mobile Health Teams (MHTs)ltbrgtHDDO will deploy Mobile Health Teams (Consist of female and male staff) to deliver essential primary healthcare services to remote, earthquake-affected communities where access to static health facilities is limited or non-existent. Each MHT will be fully equipped with essential medicines, medical supplies, and staffed by trained health personnel, including female healthcare worker to ensure culturally appropriate and disability sensitive services for women and girls. The project will also include the provision of vehicles and operational support to enable regular outreach, offering services such as maternal and child healthcare, treatment of common illnesses, immunization, and malnutrition screening and management.ltbrgt2.Promoting Disability-Inclusive Health ServicesltbrgtTo ensure that persons with disabilities are not left behind in the emergency response, HDDO will implement disability-inclusive interventions across all service delivery points. include:ltbrgtProvision of assistive devices (wheelchairs, crutches etc)ltbrgtAccess to rehabilitation services and psychosocial supportltbrgtTraining of healthcare workers on disability-inclusive approaches, communication, and patient careltbrgtEnsuring both physical and informational accessibility of health and nutrition services.ltbrgtThrough this project, HDDO aims to strengthen the resilience of affected communities by ensuring that life-saving health and nutrition services are accessible, inclusive, and responsive to the specific needs of marginalized groups. This initiative will contribute to reducing preventable morbidity and mortality, especially among women, children, and persons with disabilities, in some of the hardest-to-reach areas of Kunar and Nangarhar.ltbrgtThe following services will be provided under this projectltbrgtPhysical rehabilitation primary healthcare  and Psychosocial Counselling Project for Earthquake victims and person with disabilities  will focus to the Physical rehabilitation, Psychosocial Counselling, Provision of walking aids and assistive devices, basic health or primary healthcare services to the Victims/survivors of earthquake and person with disabilities in Kunar (Chawki, Nurgal and Chapa Dara district) and the Dare-Nur District of Nangarhar provinces This project will be implemented through 1 fix 1 Mobile rehabilitation center, 1  Sub Health Center (SHC) and 1 mobile health team which will cover the following services. ltbrgt1.Producing 150 new Prosthesesltbrgt2.Repair 500 old Prosthesesltbrgt3.Producing of 400 new Orthosesltbrgt4.Repair 400 old Orthosesltbrgt5.Provision of Physiotherapy Services to 3500 Individuals (1400 female 2100 Male)ltbrgt6.Provision of Psychosocial counseling to 1500 Individuals (600 female 900 male)ltbrgt7.Referral 300 Victims, survivors and PWDltbrgt8.Provision of Primary healthcare services to 9100 individuals (3650 Female 5460 Male)ltbrgtThe total beneficiaries planed under this project is 15850ltbrgtThe proposed Project will cover the needy victim and person with disabilities by Gender Equality Social Inclusion in the targeted provinces, covering 100% of the required needs for 8 months.

Considering the AAP and RCCE principles, OPHA engaged the local community and PPHDs during the project’s design phase. OPHA proposes establishing 6 SHCs in the Khogiani, Kama, Mohmand Dara, Behsood, and Jalalabad districts of Nangarhar and 3 SHCs in Qargai and Alingar districts of Laghman province in the areas of high return as per the 5th reserve allocation 2025. The SHCs are accessible to people with disabilities. The project targets men, women, and children under five years, pregnant and lactating women, and persons with disability. These SHCs provide outpatient services to clients of all diversities, early detection and treatment of acute respiratory infections, ANC, PNC, institutional delivery, SRH services, IMCI, immunization, and MPHSS services. Also, the SHCs provide nutrition screening, growth monitoring, MIYCN counseling, treatment of SAM and MAM and AM-PLW, micronutrient supplementation, and referral of severely acute malnutrition with medical complications to a comprehensive nutrition center (IPD-SAM). The SHCs will further support the referral of severely ill cases from the community to the nearest health facilities by distributing the phone numbers of BPHS HFs with ambulance services to the clients to promote safe referrals. The SHCs structure consists of a Male doctor, a female nutrition counselor, a midwife, a female psychosocial counselor, and a female vaccinator to cover the services under this assignment. The project staff efficiently manages the project with the support and liaison of OPHA's management team. Female staff will be accompanied by their Mahram and People with Disabilities with reasonable accommodation. Required medicine, equipment, medical and non-medical supplies, IEC, and health/nutrition promotion materials will be provided in multiple formats to ensure accessibility. OPHA builds and maintains close coordination with the stakeholders, including OPDs including regular project data reporting at the provincial level. OPHA is the health implementer in Nangarhar and Laghman, which enables OPHA to establish the SHCs in target provinces. The SHCs operate based on BPHS guidelines, focusing on integrated primary health service, supporting RCCE, increasing community awareness on disease prevention, strengthening surveillance systems, capacity building, and providing trauma care services in areas of return to returnees and host communities. As a cross-cutting matter in this assignment, OPHA considers the minimum gender marker code within the proposed projects. We ensure that gender equality and awareness activities are mainstreamed within the project’s scope. The project is a disability-inclusive concept in which we provide all SHCs with ramp facilities, wheelchairs, support for disabled children with acute illness, and disability awareness activities. OPHA conducts monthly supervision, monitoring, coaching, and mentoring of the SHCs to ensure the quality of services and identify barriers and risks for people with disabilities. Accordingly, women, men, boys, and girls of all ages, including people with disabilities, will benefit equally from the proposed interventions. 113600 individuals in the areas of returns and host communities will directly benefit from the project, including 31807 males over five and 59072 females over five for OPD services, and 16% people with disabilities (14541), 2085 boys and 2003 girls under one for vaccination, 6953 caregivers of children 0-23 for MIYCN, 1170 children 6-59 months for SAM, 3126 for MAM, 2100 PLWs for acute malnutrition, and 5521 (2815 boys, 2706 girls) children 6-59 for MMNPs. One of the project's sustainability aspects is the capacity building of local staff on health and nutrition interventions in the provinces.ltbrgtlt/pgtOrganization for People's Health in ActionOrganization for People's Health in ActionAfghanistan Humanitarian FundHealthNutrition63475.60578333.28641808.88Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for People's Health in Action256723.55Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for People's Health in Action256723.55Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for People's Health in ActionXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-NGO-37702United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtAfghanistan faces significant WASH challenges driven by climate shocks, prolonged droughts, and deteriorating infrastructure. According to the 2024 WoAA, 41% of rural households (HHs) have experienced severe drought, placing strain on both urban and rural WASH services. Seasonal hazards, such as flooding and outbreaks of AWD and cholera, further exacerbate the crisis, particularly during the spring and summer months. Currently, 23% of HHs rely on unimproved water sources, and 39% of districts report inadequate water access due to dried-up sources, long distances to water points, or financial constraints. Sanitation facilities are similarly lacking, with 28% of HHs using unimproved latrines and 9% still practicing open defecation. The ongoing crisis has contributed to severe public health risks, as evidenced by the 135,493 AWD/cholera cases recorded in September 2024, with children under five accounting for 55% of cases (Ref: Afghanistan HNRP 2025 issued in Dec 2024). ltbrgtAs of 2025, northern Afghanistan faces significant humanitarian challenges, with 3.2 million people identified as being in need of humanitarian assistance. In response, humanitarian actors aim to reach 2.7 million individuals across the region, representing approximately 84% of the total population in need. In Sar-e-Pul, the humanitarian situation is similarly dire, with 453,000 individuals identified as needing support, of whom 49.5% are female, comprising 47% women and 53% girls. Humanitarian plans aim to assist 381,000 people, including 103,000 individuals specifically targeted for WASH emergency response, reflecting urgent public health and sanitation needs within the province (Ref: Afghanistan HNRP 2025 Northern Region). In Sar-e-Pul, 92.5% of sanitation facilities are not disability-friendly, leaving tens of thousands of persons with disabilities unable to safely access latrines, water points, or hygiene facilities. (Ref: Joint MRAT 2024)ltbrgtTo address the critical WASH needs of 53,200 vulnerable individuals, including 20% persons with disability, in three targeted districts of Sar-e-Pul province, OCHR has proposed a comprehensive intervention aimed at improving access to WASH services to mitigate the risk of waterborne diseases and negative coping mechanisms during the anticipated drought.ltbrgtAs part of the clean drinking water initiative, OCHR will rehabilitate/construct eight water schemes (Household-HH level 05 and Institution-School level 03). These improvements will significantly reduce the burden on women and girls, who currently spend an average of more than 30 minutes per trip to reach a water point. To address the different needs of women and girls, OCHR will ensure that these water schemes are designed with equitable accessibility in mind. ltbrgtTo promote sustainable sanitation behavior change, OCHR will implement the Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach in the five targeted communities where water schemes are planned. Through CLTS triggering, community members will be mobilized to construct or repair latrines, ensuring access to safe, gender-appropriate, and hygienic sanitation facilities, particularly in drought-affected areas. To further improve the good hygiene practices, OCHR will conduct hygiene awareness sessions, which are an integral part of the CLTS approach, in five CLTS-targeted and surrounding areas, reaching 53,200 individuals, consisting of 7600 families. Following these sessions, OCHR will equip the most vulnerable 3,800 families with ltbrgta WASH cluster standard hygiene kit, including purification tablets, with priority given to households with persons with disabilities who often face additional logistical and financial barriers in accessing clean water. This helps improve household-level water storage and reduces the risk of contamination, especially during a drought when water resources may be more limited.ltbrgtlt/pgtOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian ReliefOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian ReliefAfghanistan Humanitarian FundWater, Sanitation and Hygiene36510.88654913.94691424.82Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian Relief553139.86Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian ReliefXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-NGO-37723United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtAfghanistan is facing one of its most severe food security crises in recent years. Four consecutive years of drought, combined with economic fragility and mass return movements, have steadily eroded household resilience. The 2025 harvest fell below average—especially in rainfed areas of the north and west—while second-season crops like maize and rice nearly failed due to low rainfall and irrigation shortages. As a result, households have been unable to stock adequate food for winter, leaving millions exposed to early depletion of reserves. Pastureland in the north, west, and central highlands has also deteriorated, prompting unusual livestock migration, distress sales, and worsening animal body conditions. These trends undermine both food and income sources (FEWS NET, August 2025).ltbrgtThe latest IPC analysis shows that 12.6 million people (27% of the population) were in IPC Phase 3 or above (Crisis or worse) during March–April 2025, including nearly 2 million in Emergency (Phase 4). While projections for May–October 2025 suggest some seasonal improvement—with 9.5 million (21%) in IPC Phase 3+—the situation remains highly fragile due to recurring climate shocks, widespread unemployment, falling remittances, and a 40% cut in humanitarian food assistance (IPC Afghanistan, June 2025).ltbrgtFaryab province highlights the compounded nature of these risks. In March–April 2025, 30% of its population (over 430,000 people) were in Crisis and 5% (over 71,000 people) in Emergency, with these levels expected to persist through October. Consecutive droughts have decimated rainfed production, degraded rangelands, and triggered livestock sales, while urban areas struggle with rising pressures from returnees, joblessness, and declining remittances. These conditions place Faryab among the provinces most at risk of worsening food insecurity into the next lean season (IPC Afghanistan, June 2025 FEWS NET, August 2025).ltbrgtTo address the above-mentioned needs, this project is designed to provide FSAC-standard 50% in-kind food baskets (50  kg wheat flour, 4 kg pulses, 4 liters oil, 0.5 kg salt, delivering 1,050 kcal/person/day) to 1,800 households for 4 rounds across Qaram Qul (250 HHs), Qaysar (975 HHs), and Almar (575HHs)  districts of Faryab. The assistance will reach 12,600 individuals (2,729 men, 2,903 women, 3,310 boys, 3,658 girls), including 2,016 persons with disabilities and 270 women-headed households. Distributions will cover four rounds, adjusted to population size and need in each district.ltbrgtIn addition, 890 HHs (6,230 individuals: 1,349 men, 1,435 women, 1,637 boys, 1,809 girls) out of 1,800 HHs will receive in-kind livestock support packages (200 kg animal feed, and 2-liter de-wormer) with a per-package cost of 95 USD according to the FSAC standard for one round to strengthen resilience. Beneficiary selection will follow FSAC vulnerability scoring, ensuring assistance reaches the most at-risk households. ltbrgtOCHR will recruit project staff using a 60/40 model, with 40% of the staff being female and drawn from local communities, including community mobilizer couples who will directly engage vulnerable women and women-headed households. Targeted districts align with FSAC’s 7th Reserve Allocation 2025 priority areas (Priority 3 and 4). To ensure effective communication and community engagement, OCHR will provide regular awareness to the project beneficiaries using tools and guidelines the AAP-TWG has developed. OCHR has also mainstreamed GBV and PSEA in all the proposed interventions.ltbrgtlt/pgtOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian ReliefOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian ReliefAfghanistan Humanitarian FundFood Security43418.74447755.79491174.53Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian Relief392939.62Afghanistan Humanitarian FundOrganization for Coordination of Humanitarian ReliefXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-NGO-37727United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtltspangtAfghanistan continues to face serious humanitarian challenges caused by widespread contamination from landmines and explosive remnants of war (ERW), which pose a constant threat to civilians—particularly in drought-affected northern provinces where displacement, land pressure, and livelihood disruptions are increasing.

The project design is grounded in the WASH Cluster severity mapping, HNRP 2025 objectives, and ACDO’s own rapid needs assessments. These assessments were conducted through a combination of FGDs and KIIs, and household-level surveys in all four targeted districts. ACDO employed a random sampling approach, covering 10% of the cluster–recommended population in severity level 4 locations of each district, with a deliberate inclusion of 15% women-headed households during assessment to ensure gender representation and vulnerability mapping. The overall objective of the project is to reduce preventable morbidity, mortality, and displacement by improving equitable access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene services at the community, household, school, and health facility levels, in alignment with national humanitarian priorities and cluster standards.ltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltbgtExpected Results and Outputs:ltbrgtlt/bgtlt/pgtltulgtltligtThe rehabilitation of two existing water networks and the construction of four new networks will provide sustained access to safe drinking water for approximately 3,330 HHs (23,310 direct plus 3,496 indirect ltbrgtindividuals), including 15% women-headed households and 16% persons with disabilities. All water networks will include chlorination, routine water quality testing, and protection measures to prevent contamination, particularly in drought-prone and AWD/high-risk areas.lt/ligtltligtConstruction of 28 HHs latrines along with sanitation facilities in 4 schools and 4 health facilities will improve access to safe and dignified sanitation for 25,760 individuals, ensuring equity across all ages, genders, and persons with disabilities.

These districts—characterized by high-altitude terrain, harsh winters, and recurrent drought—are among the most food-insecure areas in the northeastern region of Afghanistan.ltbrgtBased on HIHAO’s Market and Livelihood Assessment (October 2025), the project design responds directly to two critical humanitarian needs:ltbrgt(1) immediate food access for households facing acute consumption gaps, andltbrgt(2) protection of essential livestock assets which serve as the main livelihood source for the majority of rural families.ltbrgtThe assessment confirmed that local markets in all three districts remain functional and well-stocked with essential commodities, with prices within ±3% of FSAC reference rates, demonstrating strong feasibility for a cash-based food response. It also revealed that prolonged drought (2021–2025) has reduced staple crop yields by 30–50%, depleted fodder reserves, and caused up to 25% livestock mortality during the past winter season.ltbrgtBased on the FSAC recommendation, HIHAO proposes a dual-component intervention combining 60% cash-based food assistance and 40% emergency livestock support, ensuring both immediate and medium-term food security outcomes:ltbrgt- A total of 1,500 highly vulnerable households (10,500 people, including 16% persons with disabilities) will receive four rounds of unconditional cash transfers valued at USD 42 per household per month, equivalent to 50% of the FSAC minimum food basket. The basket consist of 44.5 Kg what flour, 10.5 Kg domestic rice, 3.5 lit oil, 4.5 kg pulses, and 0.5 kg salt providing about 1,300 calories per person per day. The assistance will enable families to purchase sufficient and nutritious food items locally while preserving choice and dignity, and stimulating local market activity . The cash will be distributed through an experienced Financial Service Provider (Zinzir Ltd.), with hawala as a contingency option, ensuring transparency and efficiency.ltbrgt- To prevent further asset depletion and sustain winter food sources, 1,900 livestock-owning households will receive FSAC-standard livestock packages, including 200 kg of animal feed, 2 liters of dewormer, and a transportation subsidy.This support will be coupled with training on livestock management and nutrition practices, followed by mentoring visits to ensure effective utilization. Protecting livestock will help maintain milk and meat availability, secure household income, and reduce the risk of distress sales and displacement during the lean season.ltbrgtThe project will be implemented over eight months (15 November 2025 – 15 July 2026) through HIHAO’s Badakhshan Regional Office, which has the technical, logistical, and MEAL capacity to deliver multi-sectoral responses. The intervention is designed with full integration of gender equality, disability inclusion, AAP, and PSEA measures, ensuring equitable participation, safe access, and accountability to all affected groups. Female-headed households (10%) and persons with disabilities (16%) will be prioritized throughout beneficiary selection and monitoring processes.ltbrgtThis project contributes directly to FSAC HRP 2025 Strategic Objectives SO1 and SO3 and cluster objectives CO1 (lifesaving food assistance) and CO2 (emergency livelihood protection). By combining cash transfers and livestock feed support, the intervention mitigates the immediate risks of hunger and malnutrition, protects productive assets, and enhances household resilience to future climate-induced shocks. It also aligns with the AHF 7th Reserve Allocation Strategy, emphasizing rapid, localized, and market-driven drought responses in hard-to-reach provinces.ltbrgtlt/pgtHand in Hand Afghanistan OrganizationHand in Hand Afghanistan OrganizationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundFood Security53351.38484608.41537959.79Afghanistan Humanitarian FundHand in Hand Afghanistan Organization215183.92Afghanistan Humanitarian FundHand in Hand Afghanistan OrganizationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-NGO-37854United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtKunduz is one of the many provinces in Afghanistan severely affected by multiple droughts, resulting in farmer households losing crops and income.

Herat Province is among the regions hit hardest by drought, with rural households suffering extensive livelihood losses due to declining agricultural productivity, high food prices, and scarce income opportunities. Women-headed households, persons with disabilities, pregnant and lactating women (PLWs), and daily-wage labourers are among the groups most at risk.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtFSCWEO’s Rapid Food Insecurity Assessment conducted in Oct, 2025 across Adraskan, Kushk, and Kushk-e-Kuhna confirmed a widespread deterioration in household food security. Eighty-seven percent of respondents reported insufficient income, 88 percent cited high food prices as the main driver of food insecurity, and 100 percent highlighted limited livelihood opportunities. Most households had adopted negative coping mechanisms—such as reducing meal size, prioritising children over adults, or skipping meals altogether. Although local markets remained functional, purchasing power was severely constrained, particularly among women-headed households and persons with disabilities. These findings underscore the urgent need for combined humanitarian food assistance and agricultural recovery interventions.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtIn response, FSCWEO proposes an integrated Food Security and Agriculture Project under the AHF 7th Drought Reserve Allocation (RA7) to address immediate food consumption gaps and to restore livelihoods in the drought-affected districts of Adraskan, Kushk, and Kushk-e-Kuhna of Herat Province.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtUnder Component 1 – In-Kind Food Assistance (60 percent of programme budget), the project will deliver four monthly distributions of the FSAC 50 percent food ration consisting of 50 kg wheat flour, 4 kg pulses, 4 litres vegetable oil, and 0.5 kg salt, equivalent to approximately USD 40 per round. A total of 1,470 households (about 10,290 people) will receive the assistance, ensuring a minimum energy intake of 2,100 kcal per person per day and reducing reliance on negative coping strategies. Distributions will take place in accessible community centres and be managed through transparent beneficiary lists endorsed by the FSAC Herat Sub-National Cluster and local authorities. Beneficiaries will include drought-affected residents, IDPs, returnees, daily-wage labourers, PLWs, and persons with disabilities. District coverage is projected at 500 households in Adraskan, 500 in Kushk, and 470 in Kush-e-Kohna.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtUnder Component 2 – Agriculture Support (Vegetable Kits, 40 percent of programme budget), the project will distribute vegetable kits valued at USD 50 each to 2,800 households (around 19,600 people). Each kit will contain assorted drought-tolerant seeds—such as tomato, okra, onion, spinach, and eggplant—and a basic set of gardening tools. Households, particularly women-headed and land-poor families, will receive guidance on seed-bed preparation, efficient water use, and pest management to enhance household food production and dietary diversity. This intervention will reduce dependency on market purchases while promoting nutritious diets at community level.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe project’s total budget is USD 492,631, comprising USD 378,550 (77 percent) for direct programme and assistance activities—USD 235,200 for in-kind food distribution and USD 140,000 for vegetable-kit support—and USD 114,081 (23 percent) for operations, logistics, staffing, monitoring, and mandatory PSC.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtExpected outcomes include an immediate improvement in food access for 1,470 drought-affected households strengthened household nutrition and resilience for 2,800 farming families through vegetable production reduced negative coping mechanisms and increased participation of women, PLWs, and persons with disabilities in humanitarian programmes. ltbrgtlt/pgtFaradata Social Chang and Women Empowerment OrganizationFaradata Social Chang and Women Empowerment OrganizationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundFood Security43458.71448167.91491626.62Afghanistan Humanitarian FundFaradata Social Chang and Women Empowerment Organization196650.65Afghanistan Humanitarian FundFaradata Social Chang and Women Empowerment Organization196650.65Afghanistan Humanitarian FundFaradata Social Chang and Women Empowerment OrganizationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-UN-35077United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThe primary objective of this project is to ensure the uninterrupted provision of life-saving maternal and reproductive health services, tonbsp 84,000 vulnerable individuals in remote villages and internally displaced persons (IDP) communities, including persons with disabilities.

This deficiency is exacerbated by protracted conflict, recurrent shocks, and frequent outbreaks of infectious diseases, which collectively exert overwhelming pressure on an already fragile health infrastructure. Consequently, Afghanistan endures some of the highest maternal and child mortality rates globally, with 24 maternal and 167 infant deaths occurring daily due to preventable causes (WHO 2024-2025 Integrated Response).ltbrgtThe scale of humanitarian needs has escalated dramatically, with an estimated 22.9 million individuals projected to require urgent assistance in 2025. In response, WHO remains resolute in its commitment to delivering life-saving health interventions in underserved and hard-to-reach areas, with a strategic emphasis on strengthening primary healthcare (PHC) and ensuring access to essential medicines. Over the past three years, WHO has successfully established and operationalized hundreds of PHC centers in conflict-affected regions, extending critical healthcare services to vulnerable populations.ltbrgtUnder this initiative, WHO will operationalize six Sub-Health Centers (SHCs) and procure and distribute 54 PHC kits to priority health facilities across four provinces: Badakhshan, Samangan, Faryab, and Sar-e-Pul. A key component of WHO’s intervention strategy involves mitigating the impact of recurrent communicable disease outbreaks. To enhance disease surveillance and response mechanisms, WHO will deploy 10 Surveillance Support Teams (SSTs) in targeted provinces. These teams will be instrumental in the rapid detection and containment of outbreaks, including acute watery diarrhea (AWD), measles, dengue fever, and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF).ltbrgtBeyond infectious disease control, malnutrition remains a critical public health challenge. Over the past five years, approximately 3 million children under five have suffered from acute malnutrition, a figure expected to rise to 3.5 million in 2025, with 857,000 children at risk of severe acute malnutrition (SAM). Maternal malnutrition is equally alarming, affecting over 1 million pregnant and lactating women. Childhood malnutrition significantly heightens the risk of long-term physical and cognitive impairments, undermining developmental potential across the lifespan.ltbrgtTo address these pressing nutritional needs, WHO will support 13 inpatient therapeutic feeding centers (IPD-SAM) in Herat, Ghazni, Paktika, and Kabul provinces. These centers will provide specialized care for children suffering from severe acute malnutrition with medical complications, ensuring timely and life-saving interventions.ltbrgtlt/pgtWorld Health OrganizationWorld Health OrganizationBakhtar Development NetworkAfghanistan Humanitarian FundHealthNutrition759772.00629961.711389733.71Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Health Organization1389733.71Afghanistan Humanitarian FundWorld Health OrganizationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-UN-35088United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtltbrgtAs per the Humanitarian Needs and Response Plan (HNRP) for 2025, over 18,400 families affected by floods remain in tents or damaged homes due to limited resources for repairs. ltbrgtWith this funding envelope and in line with HNRP, IOM will prioritize shelter repair solutions to disaster affected populations with all gender and diversities, including protection needs and persons with disability.

By leveraging its existing network and WASH programming infrastructure, IOM will implement a comprehensive and effective project to improve WASH services. The project will specifically target populations in the provinces of Parwan, Kabul, Herat, and Kunar, where significant gaps in WASH services have been identified. These interventions will utilize provincial setups funded by other grants to maximize resource efficiency. With Cluster’s approval, IOM will also utilize the Core Pipeline handpumps that were procured and prepositioned in 2023 but were never requested by the WASH partners. IOM will make use of the available resources for the benefit of WASH response in the country.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe project aims to provide safe drinking water to 10,500 households (approximately 75,000 individuals) through the rehabilitation of water supply systems, including gravity-fed and solar-powered systems, as well as the development of non-network water supply solutions such as spring catchment protection and the installation of hand pumps (both borehole and shallow types). The project will support the distribution of water kits to improve household water storage and handling. Both hard and soft components will be implemented, with all site selection and activities guided by the WASH Cluster approved WASH-GBV checklist to ensure inclusivity, safety, and accessibility for all, especially women, and girls.ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltbrgtltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtIOM proposes the following WASH interventions under this proposal:ltbrgt- Provision of safe drinking water at the community level, including handpumps, boreholes, and wells rehabilitation or construction, water systems and networks rehabilitation and expansion, and disinfection of water sources.ltbrgt- Provision of basic WASH services to schools such as gender segregated sanitation facilitiesltbrgt- Provision and promotion of improved hygiene practices through participatory approaches that are culturally appropriate.ltbrgt- Prepositioning and distribution of essential WASH NFIs, andltbrgt- Prepositioning and distribution of water kits in AWD hotspots and drought stressed areas to mitigate outbreak and population movement.ltbrgtlt/pgtInternational Organization for MigrationInternational Organization for MigrationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundEmergency Shelter and NFIWater, Sanitation and Hygiene1139468.83581554.631721023.46Afghanistan Humanitarian FundInternational Organization for Migration1721023.46Afghanistan Humanitarian FundInternational Organization for MigrationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-UN-35122United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtUnder the Action, UNHCR will deliver critical shelter and protection services to vulnerable households, improving access to adequate, safe, and dignified shelter solutions, as well as to promote durable protection outcomes. These activities will provide immediate relief to vulnerable populations, including refugee returnees and internally displaced persons (IDPs), in line with the 2025 Humanitarian Response Plan (HRP). The action will ensure to deliver assistance to the most vulnerable, including women and girls, women-headed households, the elderly, and persons with disabilities. ltbrgtUnder the shelter component of the intervention, UNHCR will identify and assist 1,648 households (11,536 individuals: 5,652 male, 5,884 female) with shelter repairs, including both major and minor repair works. This activity will support beneficiary families in accessing safe, dignified, and adequate shelter solutions, promoting physical protection and durable solution outcomes. The assistance will be delivered via cash modality, enabling beneficiaries to address specific shelter repair needs, with technical oversight and guidance provided by UNHCR and UNHCR’s implementing partners. The intervention will pay particular attention to vulnerable households unable to otherwise address critical shelter repair needs. ltbrgtThe intervention will further deliver critical protection assistance to the most vulnerable, with a particular focus on women, girls, persons with disabilities, as well as other at-risk groups. UNHCR will deliver its legal assistance programme, inclusive of legal awareness, legal counselling, and civil documentation assistance. The intervention thereby aims to address gaps in access to civil documentation, posing a significant hurdle in accessing services and contributing to vulnerabilities and protection risks. The legal aid portion of the programme aims to reach 6,000 beneficiaries (3,000 male, 3,000 female), promoting access to basic rights and services, and contributing to durable solutions. To ensure comprehensive and adequate assistance for the most vulnerable, UNHCR will further deliver protection case management and cash assistance to persons with specific needs (PSNs) to  address immediate protection risks. Given the sensitivity of the Afghanistan context, UNHCR refers individuals at heightened risk as PSN, who face specific barriers due to discrimination, their identity, or other factors that prevent them from fully enjoying their rights or accessing services they need. This encompasses returnees (including deportees) who are at imminent risk upon their return to Afghanistan, persons with specific legal and physical protection needs, persons with disabilities (especially if they are the breadwinners of a family), female-headed households, single women or older persons without community support, and those with life-threatening medical conditions. The cash for protection program for PSN is designed to provide targeted financial support to help individuals at heightened risk addressing the person’s most urgent needs. The assistance is delivered in the framework of case management activities facilitated by UNHCR and remains a vital component of UNHCR’s protection-focused cash interventions, ensuring inclusive humanitarian support and addressing the specific vulnerabilities of those at risk.ltbrgtlt/pgtUnited Nations High Commissioner for RefugeesUnited Nations High Commissioner for RefugeesAnsari Rehabilitation Association for AfghanistanAfghanistan Humanitarian FundEmergency Shelter and NFIProtection783085.39375626.321158711.71Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations High Commissioner for Refugees1158711.71Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations High Commissioner for RefugeesXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-UN-35143United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtAfghanistan continues to grapple with the consequences of four decades of conflict, systemic poverty, and an escalating climate-induced crisis, and barriers to women’s equality and participation in public life. Afghanistan stands at a critical juncture. The country is warming at an alarming rate, exceeding global averages and leading to shifting weather patterns which intensify floods, droughts and other natural disasters. These environmental shocks, combined with ongoing political and economic instability, have placed unprecedented strain on water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services. Additionally, Afghanistan faces multiple natural hazards, exacerbated by population movement, forced deportation from neighboring Pakistan and Iran. This large-scale population movement, coupled with disease outbreaks, is affecting populations across the country.ltbrgtAcute watery diarrhea (AWD) and cholera are endemic in Afghanistan, and recurrent outbreaks remain a significant public health threat. During February 2025, 6,518 AWD cases with dehydration and 4 associated deaths (CFR=0.06%) were reported from 198 districts. Out of the total AWD cases reported, 60 per cent (3,876) were among children under-five, and half of cases (3,193) were among females. In 2024, over 175,000 cases of AWD with dehydration were reported across 350 districts. In late 2024, the WASH and health clusters jointly visited cholera-affected communities and found impoverished and over-crowded living conditions with poor sanitation, poor hygiene practices and a lack of access to safe drinking water. They also found a low level of awareness of AWD risks, all of which are risk factors for infection. ltbrgtBased on the recent climate vulnerability assessment conducted by the International Organization for Migration (IOM), at least half of the communities assessed experienced floods (71 per cent) and droughts (66 per cent) causing asset, infrastructure and shelter damage, as well as displacement and immobility. Over three decades of conflict, coupled with environmental degradation, and insufficient investment in disaster risk reduction strategies, have contributed to increasing the vulnerability of the Afghan people and limited their ability to cope with the sudden shocks and climate induced extreme weather events. Both the people and the WASH infrastructure are exposed to more and more severe droughts and increased flash flooding due to changing precipitation patterns.ltbrgtUNICEF, under the proposed AHF reserve allocation for 2025, is focusing on key WASH interventions including the provision of safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene interventions in Spin Boldak, Daman and Kandahar districts of Kandahar province and Lashkargah and Nahre Saraj districts in Hilmand province. These districts have been chosen as they witness a higher prevalence of AWD/cholera each year and experience a high influx of home returnees coming from Pakistan through the Spin Boldak border crossing. All districts are also drought-prone. The project aims to provide both lifesaving and climate resilient WASH interventions to ensure that 8,000 affected people have access to safe drinking water and 20,000 people benefit from distribution of essential WASH supplies and hygiene promotion sessions, that increase their adaptive capacity and resilience against climate change and contribute to the reduction of water-borne diseases. The WASH interventions complement the response provided by other humanitarian partners to the returnee population.nbsp UNICEF will also be delivering hygiene awareness session under this funding, while distribution of WASH supplies will be contributed from its own resources.ltbrgtlt/pgtUnited Nations Children's FundUnited Nations Children's FundAfghanistan Humanitarian FundWater, Sanitation and Hygiene379437.43314608.93694046.36Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Children's Fund694046.36Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUnited Nations Children's FundXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-UN-35220United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThe growing number of returnees and already existing IDPs present a huge challenge to housing, land and property (HLP) rights in Afghanistan. Despite the security improving with sharp drop from 60% to 2% households reporting conflict related shocks, over 3.4 million people are need of protection with a focus on HLP rights in Afghanistan (HNRP 2025). The HNRP 2025 further indicates this is made worse with recurrent natural disasters which have replaced conflict as the primary driver of displacement since 2022. Risks of ethnic and religious violence, repression, discrimination, marginalization, forced displacement remains high, driven by cross-border returns, deportations to Afghanistan, and rising threats of evictions have exacerbated situation.lt/pgtltpgt ltbrgtIn areas of return, informal settlements are emerging as key sites experiencing high volumes of return: many low-income migrants resided in informal settlements prior to moving to Pakistan in search of economic opportunities and are now returning to these communities. In addition, it is likely that returnees unable to return or remain in their place of origin will relocate to informal settlements as sites of low-cost accommodation to access livelihoods and/or humanitarian services. Intention surveys at the border suggest that 80% of returnees plan to return to their district of origin, with the majority locating to Nangarhar, Kandahar, Kabul and Kunduz. Recent surveys of returnee informal settlement highlight access to housing and secure land as a priority for the affected population. (see 2, Specific Needs Assessment, below)lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtIn response, UN-Habitat will implement this proposed project that aims at improving living conditions of people residing in informal settlements. The proposed project does this by deploying a people centered approach that addresses the needs of residents of informal settlements in areas of high return by documenting communal and household HLP rights of 6,000 households to reduce eviction risks and provide a foundation for improved living conditions. The project will benefit around 42,000 people with strengthened and documented HLP rights in in Dasht-e-Archit informal settlement in Kunduz province.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtWe anticipate risks associated with security, access restriction, interference by DfA, and reputation damage. UN-Habitat will coordinate project activities with UNDSS ensuring all measures are included prior to implementation of activities.

In 2025 22.9 million people (including 5.7 million women 5 million men) require humanitarian assistance to survive. The primary drivers of these needs are protection-related and include heightened risk of gender-based violence (GBV), discrimination, and denial of access to services due to increased DFA restrictions on women and girls, among other. Women’s rights and spaces – and their ability to participate in humanitarian programming – continues to decrease. Afghanistan has witnessed largescale, institutional and systemic gender-based discrimination, with the codification and enforcement of law, decrees, directives, and edicts that further entrench deeply rooted discriminatory norms and practices that exclude women and girls from social, economic, and political spheres.lt/pgtltpgt  ltbrgtDespite the pressing needs, funding levels remain critically low, necessitating a strategic and well-coordinated response to maximize the impact of available resources, with continued prioritization of localization. Strengthening local capacities and gender-responsive programming is critical for fostering community resilience and an effective humanitarian response in Afghanistan.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtWomen-led/focused organizations remain one of the few avenues still open to women. Research has shown that communities trust women leaders and local women organizations to engage with women and girls to better understand their needs, and channel these to humanitarian organizations. Despite the numerous challenges - most notably the ban on women aid workers, the restrictions to their freedom of movement and significant difficulty accessing funding - women's organizations continue to work and have access to women beneficiaries. UN Women found that across 127 surveyed women's organizations, their direct reach was of 1 million women across 17 provinces. Additionally, the IASC guidelines on engagement with NGOs also notes that greater emphasis must be placed on combating gender inequality by supporting and promoting the engagement and leadership of women leaders and other marginalized groups. Engaging with local women-led/women focused organizations also represents a solution to the lack of Afghan women in the assistance architecture as they provide an invaluable understanding of local challenges and potential solutions, can mobilize local networks, and offer greater access to affected populations.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtTo respond to the compounding and intersectional humanitarian needs of Afghan women and girls and the need to safeguard women’s organizations’ continued operations in Afghanistan, UN Women will lead a consortium with local women-led/focused organizations to implement humanitarian action ‘for women, by women’. The consortium will support 6 women-led/focused organizations to implement humanitarian action focusing on protection (4 organizations) and multi-purpose cash assistance (MPCA) (2 organizations). The focus on protection assistance and MPCA is in response to needs identified in assessments, feasibility, and reported preference of women, as well as the priorities of the HNRP. The humanitarian interventions will be co-designed, with support from a consortium Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) and relevant clusters and working groups. Through investments in women-led/focused organization, the consortium will improve women and girls’ access to humanitarian assistance and strengthen women-led/focused organizations’ track record of delivering effective gender-responsive humanitarian assistance. In turn, improving their chances of successfully partnering on other initiatives in the response, as well as working more strategically with other donors as they will have improved coordination, internal control processes, and skills profile. ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgt ltbrgtlt/pgtUN WomenUN WomenGreen Social Research OrganizationHumanitarian Organization for Sustainable Action in AfghanistanOrganization for Human ReliefOrganization for ManagementSustainable Welfare Social Services OrganizationWelfare amp; Support Afghan Women Disability OrganizationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundProtectionMulti-Sector296631.75503175.35799807.10Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUN Women799807.10Afghanistan Humanitarian FundUN WomenXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-UN-35631United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtAccording to the HNRP – 2024, Afghanistan continues to grapple with the consequences of four decades of conflict, entrenched poverty, climate-induced crises, and barriers to women’s equality and participation in public life. Despite the significant reduction in active hostilities, Afghanistan remains primarily a protection emergency characterized by high levels of protracted displacement and restrictions to freedom of movement. ltbrgtAt the same time, in the first four months of 2025, more than 426,000 undocumented Afghans returned to the country, including more than 117,000 from Pakistan. Many returnees are arriving in areas already facing protracted displacement. ltbrgtOver the 12-month duration of this project in 2025 – 2026, IOM estimates that approximately 2.6 million undocumented returnees will cross into Afghanistan through IOM reception centres at the Milak and Islam Qala border points on the border with Iran and the Spin Boldak and Torkham border points on the border with Pakistan.ltbrgtUnder the health sector, outcome 1, a total of 43,620 vulnerable Afghans returning from Pakistan and Iran benefit from improved health outcomes due to access to essential health services at crossing points, which include emergency medical care and referral mechanisms.ltbrgtFor the protection sector, under outcome1, undocumented returnees, IDPs, and vulnerable Afghans with specific needs receive timely, tailored protection assistance through direct support and referrals, including emergency and medium-term care.ltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltbrgtOutcome 1 aims to support returnees with heightened vulnerability with direct protection assistance, including emergency and medium-term care and support.lt/pgtltpgtltbrgtThe intervention significantly enhances access to health and protection services for persons with disabilities by ensuring their inclusion in emergency medical care, referral mechanisms, and tailored protection assistance. At border crossing points, vulnerable returnees, including those with disabilities, benefit from essential health services that address immediate medical needs while establishing pathways for longer-term care. Additionally, protection efforts prioritize individuals with heightened vulnerability, offering direct support, emergency care, and medium-term assistance through referrals and specialized services. By integrating disability-sensitive approaches within reception centers and transit hubs, the project fosters a more inclusive response framework, ensuring that persons with disabilities receive equitable access to humanitarian aid and protection mechanisms.ltbrgtOutcome 2 focuses on addressing the humanitarian needs and protection concerns of 16,000 vulnerable undocumented Afghan migrants through operations at the reception centers on the border with Iran in Herat and Nimroz and Pakistan in Kandahar and Nangarhar and their respective transit centers.ltbrgtlt/pgtInternational Organization for MigrationInternational Organization for MigrationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundHealthProtection1336263.751863736.283200000.03Afghanistan Humanitarian FundInternational Organization for Migration3200000.03Afghanistan Humanitarian FundInternational Organization for MigrationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-R-UN-35678United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtUnder this Action, UNHCR will deliver critical cash assistance to Afghans returning from Pakistan and Iran, with thenbspanticipationnbspthat up to 413,850 Afghans will return from Pakistan, and 60,000 will return from Iran, by the end of 2025.nbspThe activities implemented under this interventionnbspwill provide immediate relief to Afghans returning from Pakistan and Iran who return with heightened vulnerabilities and urgent needs that need to be addressed upon their return.

The project provides effective and efficient response to the prioritized needs of vulnerable eg. people with disability, female headed households and children in underserved areas in Dasht-e-Archi, Imam Sahib, Khan Abad and Kunduz districts. The selection of districts is in line with HNRP 2025 prioritized districts. BDN conducted field level assessment of target districts and identified the needful villages. BDN will avail its presence in Kunduz province where has established a well-staffed and well-equipped provincial office in Kunduz city which has enabled BDN to have an optimal access to target villages and target population. BDN conducted a pre-proposal assessment of the target districts down to the village levels by applying a community assessment tool in coordination with the Provincial Public Health Directorate (PPHD) where all interventions designed in the project are based on need assessment carried out by BDN’s team. (assessment report is attached). To ensure accountability to affected people becomes a natural and inseparable part of programming, the assessment included community members, beneficiaries, persons with disability and female head of households, their ideas and points of views were obtained and incorporated in this design to the best possible extent. Community engagement as integral part of the project will be continued through two-way communication between BDN, project’s participants and beneficiaries in the entire project duration. The assessment was comprised of Focus Group Discussions conducted with persons with disability where their concerns in accessing to health and nutrition services considered in the proposal. The project is designed based on principles of do no harm, dignity, transparency and accountability, cultural sensitivity and prevention of Sexual Exploitation and Abuse. The project will deliver services to all genders as per their needs, a greater focus has been done to mainstream gender in provision of services without any discrimination. As per the assessment, 5 locations were identified and jointly agreed with PPHD and local community to establish 5 Health Sub Centers (SHCs) as follows: In Imam Sahib District 2 SHCs will be established one in Mahajereen village that will cover 6500 population and second In Zard Kamar village to cover 6000 population.

In Kandahar (Maiwand, Khakrez, Arghistan and Shahwalikot) and Daikundi (Ashtarlay, Patoo and Khedir), OHW’s May 2025 Multi-Sectoral Rapid Needs Assessment reveals critical gaps in health and nutrition, worsened by drought, unemployment, returnee influx, and the U.S. funding halt in February 2025. The closure of 429 health facilities across 29 provinces, including 10 in Kandahar and 63 in Daikundi, impacts 3.08 million people (Health Cluster, May 6, 2025). The U.S. funding freeze also led to the closure of 298 nutrition sites, including 16 in Kandahar and 57 in Daikundi, severely limiting malnutrition treatment access (ReliefWeb, April 27, 2025). Communicable diseases like AWD and measles affect 15–20% of children under five, compounded by malnutrition. lt/pgtltpgtTo address these challenges, OHW proposes establishing integrated health and nutrition centers, in remotest districts of Kandahar and Daikundi. These service points (MHNTs), will deliver primary healthcare, maternal and child health, MHPSS, immunization, and treatment for SAM and MAM, alongside MIYCN counseling. Service points are strategically located in coordination with PPHD: in Kandahar’s Maiwand District, one in Shorabak village will serve 7,500 people (15 km from the nearest facility) in Shah Wali Kot District, one in Chinar and Zangabad villages will serve 8,200 and 7,300 people (18 km and 22 km away, respectively) similary in Arghistan and Khakrez districts in Daikundi’s Ashtarlay District, one in Sangi village will serve 5,900 people (25 km away) and in Patoo District, one in Jawz and Tagab villages will serve 6,500 and 7,000 people (20 km and 17 km away, respectively) similary in Khedir district.

As outlined in the AHF 2025 SA1-Strategy Paper, 22.9 million people will need humanitarian assistance in 2025, underscoring the urgency of the response amidst extremely low funding. Currently, 55% of the population is food insecure, and 3.5 million children under five and 1.2 million pregnant and breastfeeding women (PBW) are projected to suffer from acute malnutrition this year.ltbrgtIn response, HDDO will implement an emergency food assistance project in Nuristan province, targeting 2,010 highly vulnerable households (HHs), including those affected by multiple shocks, female-headed HHs (FHHDs), and persons with disabilities. Of these, 438 are FHHDs. The project will provide four rounds of in-kind food assistance. Each selected HH will receive a food basket valued at 2,900 AFN (41.73 USD) per round, covering 50% of monthly food needs per FSAC guidance. Distribution will take place in the following three districts:ltbrgtWama – 670 HHsltbrgtMandol – 670 HHsltbrgtBargimatal – 670 HHsltbrgtEach HH will receive four distributions, totaling 166.95 USD in value. In total, the project will directly benefit approximately 14,070 individuals, enhancing their food security and reducing vulnerabilities. Each basket includes 50kg flour, 4L vegetable oil, 4kg pulses, and 0,5kg salt. These districts are among the most food-insecure in Nuristan, where markets are limited due to road blockages, inflated prices, and low-quality goods. HDDO’s field assessments confirm the need for direct food provision.ltbrgtThis intervention aims to stabilize household food consumption, reduce reliance on negative coping strategies (e.g., asset sales, debt), and enhance resilience. The in-kind modality is selected based on limited market functionality and ensures that families receive consistent, nutritionally appropriate, and safe food assistance. It also allows centralized quality control and equitable access, especially critical in hard-to-reach and fragile areas.ltbrgtHDDO conducted a gender-sensitive rapid needs assessment involving both men and women, including adolescent girls, through segregated focus groups and household interviews. Women and girls identified food insecurity, lack of healthcare, and limited livelihoods as priority concerns. Based on these findings, the project prioritizes FHHDs and highly vulnerable HHs.ltbrgtGender-sensitive service delivery is central to the approach. Female staff will be involved in household registration, distributions, and community consultations. Separate consultation spaces will be arranged where feasible to ensure cultural appropriateness and privacy. These measures help promote dignity, equitable access, and protection for women and girls.ltbrgtA qualified logistics company will be selected through a transparent and competitive process to manage procurement and delivery. The selected vendor must have proven experience in food supply chain management, solid infrastructure, and the ability to operate in remote districts. This ensures timely distribution, reduces risks, and maintains the quality and accountability of assistance.ltbrgtThe project will be implemented in close coordination with OCHA, FSAC, WFP, line departments, and NGOs/INGOs to ensure a harmonized response. Coordination mechanisms will include regular meetings, joint planning, and data sharing to avoid duplication, align interventions, and maximize impact.ltbrgtCommunity engagement will be ensured at all stages. Local leaders, elders, and vulnerable group representatives will be involved in planning, targeting, and monitoring to enhance ownership, transparency, and inclusivity. Feedback and complaint mechanisms will also be established to improve responsiveness and build trust between HDDO and communities.ltbrgtImportantly, 72% of the total project budget is allocated directly to beneficiaries, with only 28% covering operational and support costs—ensuring that the majority of resources go toward life-saving assistance.ltbrgtlt/pgtHealth Disability and Development OrganizationHealth Disability and Development OrganizationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundFood Security380613.28116040.64496653.92Afghanistan Humanitarian FundHealth Disability and Development Organization198661.57Afghanistan Humanitarian FundHealth Disability and Development Organization148996.18Afghanistan Humanitarian FundHealth Disability and Development Organization148996.17Afghanistan Humanitarian FundHealth Disability and Development OrganizationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-S-NGO-35787United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtAfghanistan faces severe WASH challenges due to ongoing crises, climate shocks, and prolonged droughts.

The project aims to deliver life-saving food assistance to 2,160 households (approximately 15,120 individuals) in two rounds over a period of four months. Out of the total targeted 2160 HHs, at least 20% will be women headed HHs. Priority groups include IPC 3+ food-insecure households, drought-affected families, IDPs, returnees, and women-, elderly-, and disability-headed households. At least 16% of households will include or be headed by persons with disabilities.lt/pgtltpgtltspangtltbrgtlt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtNumber of HHs for each of the three targeted districts are as followsltbrgtAybak: 1444 HHsltbrgtFeroz Nakhchir: 242 HHsltbrgtRuy-e-Duab: 474 HHsltbrgtTotal : 2160 HHsltbrgtlt/pgtltpgtltbrgtEach household will receive a food ration package two times within a four-month period (the second ration package will be distributed two months after the first one).

The primary goal is to create secure, nurturing environments that facilitate the protection, GBV prevention and psychosocial wellbeing of vulnerable children and women, including those with disabilities, amid ongoing humanitarian crises of returnees from Pakistan and Iran.lt/spangtlt/pgtltpgtKey components of the project includes Child Protection, GBV prevention and Support Services:ltbrgt- Establishment of safe spaces that promote children's rights and safety.ltbrgt- Provision of specialized Mental Health and Psychosocial Support services.ltbrgt- Implementation of case management approaches, including individualized support plans, referrals to relevant services, and follow-up to ensure children’s safety and well-being.ltbrgt- Identification, registration, family tracing of 250 (50% girls) unaccompanied and separated children.ltbrgt- Extensive awareness campaigns targeting communities, caregivers, and stakeholders to reinforce Child Protection, Gender-Based Violence (GBV) prevention, and hygiene promotion, aiming to sensitize around 75,000 vulnerable children and their families including girls and women.ltbrgt- Distribution of 5,600 educational kits to support children's learning and development.ltbrgt- Provision of 9,000 hygiene kits to promote personal hygiene and prevent disease transmission.ltbrgt- Distribution of 5,600 winter clothing kits to ensure children are adequately protected from harsh weather conditions .ltbrgt- Strengthening of child protection mechanisms at the local level, including the development of community-based protective measures.ltbrgt- Promotion of psychosocial wellbeing through recreational, educational, and healing activities within CFS.ltbrgt- Fostering active community and female beneficiaries’ participation to create sustainable protective environments and enhance local response. The project will tend to consider community awareness and sensitization, involve community leaders and influencers - organize culturally sensitive community meetings, dialogues, and awareness campaigns to inform about GBV issues, the project’s purpose, and how community members can participate.ltbrgtThe project will focus on four districts and returnee camps, specifically:ltbrgt- Braki Barak District and Pul-e-Alam District in Logar Provinceltbrgt- Mata Khan District and Jani Khel District in Paktika ProvinceltbrgtTo ensure smooth and effective implementation, TACT will establish a robust coordination mechanism involving relevant Provinces and Districts Field Authorities (DFA), local government agencies, humanitarian partners, and community leaders. This will facilitate resource mobilization, information sharing, and joint monitoring.ltbrgtTo address GBV prevention, TACT will conduct community awareness campaigns to challenge harmful norms and behaviors. The project will also provide refresher training of core concepts, referrals, case management and psychosocial support (PSS) for child protection workers and community members on GBV identification, safe referral processes. These efforts will ensure timely, confidential assistance for GBV survivors and integrate response mechanisms into the broader child protection framework, fostering a safer, more protective environment for vulnerable children and their families.ltbrgtMoreover, Special emphasis will be placed on enhancing the knowledge, skills, to child protection workers, caseworkers, facilitators, and other relevant staff. Training sessions will cover international norms and standards related to child protection and GBV prevention, ensuring a competent local workforce capable of delivering quality services on project lifecycle.ltbrgtThis integrated approach aims to create a protective, inclusive, and resilient environment for children and women affected by the ongoing crises, ultimately contributing to their safety, development, and future stability.lt/pgtToday's Afghanistan Conciliation Trust OrganizationToday's Afghanistan Conciliation Trust OrganizationAfghanistan Humanitarian FundProtectionProtection229966.26320742.41550708.67Afghanistan Humanitarian FundToday's Afghanistan Conciliation Trust Organization220283.47Afghanistan Humanitarian FundToday's Afghanistan Conciliation Trust Organization165212.60Afghanistan Humanitarian FundToday's Afghanistan Conciliation Trust OrganizationXM-OCHA-CBPF-CBPF-AFG-25-S-NGO-35901United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian AffairsltpgtThe project aims to address the urgent shelter needs in Farah, Ghazni, Helmand, Uruzgan, and Kabul, where the population is affected by natural disasters. Implemented by DHSA and SDO as their sub-IP, the partners will provide conditional cash assistance and technical support to refugees, IDPs, host communities, female-headed households, persons with disabilities, women, girls, men, boys, youth, elderly individuals, and other vulnerable households. The project targets a total of 2,548 individuals which includes 1,107 women, 1,159 men, 140 girls, and 142 boys. Women and girls represent 49% of the population targeted. The project will begin with a comprehensive needs assessment in each province guided by secondary data, reports from DoRR, ANDMA, and consultations with women, community elders, influencers, and local Shuras. Then, a door-to-door household vulnerability assessment will validate and select beneficiaries using standard ES/NFI Cluster tools. AAP and Do-No-Harm will be embedded throughout, ensuring that beneficiaries receive clear communication about project goals and feedback mechanisms like Awaaz Afghanistan and other channels. The cash assistance will be provided through conditional transfers, delivered in 2 tranches to ensure timely and controlled use of funds. In total, the project will assist 364 households across 5 provinces through cash assistance of USD 390,149. The distributions will follow guidelines from the ES/NFI Cluster and CWG, prioritizing safe and accessible delivery through trusted FSPs. While no new formal Cash Feasibility Assessment was conducted at the proposal stage, extensive operational experience of each organization confirms that communities accept cash assistance, markets are functional with stable supply chains, and local authorities are also supportive of cash programs. DHSA has prior experience distributing cash via FSPs and maintains a vetted AML/ CFT suppliers and vendor list. Protection and inclusion considerations will be prioritized, including gender-segregated distribution areas, priority service lines for vulnerable groups, accessible complaint desks, mahram support for female staff, and home delivery options for beneficiaries unable to travel. Persons with disabilities will be identified utilizing the Washington Group of questions (with a minimum of 16% of persons with disabilities). The project shall also consider additional support for caregivers of persons with disabilities, as needed. To support safe shelter construction, beneficiaries will receive technical training, ongoing engineering support and safe material use. Robust MEAL systems will be established for project monitoring with data disaggregated at age, gender, and disability levels. PDM will cover at least 10% of beneficiaries and assess beneficiary satisfaction, cash delivery processes, risks, staff conduct, and site safety. Engagement with Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs) will strengthen the inclusion of disability perspectives throughout the lifecycle. Both organizations will continue to collaborate within the ES/NFI, Protection clusters, CWG, DiWG, GiHA, and AAP Working Groups to ensure alignment with sector standards, share knowledge and information. Thus,by combining cash-based shelter support with technical training, protection mainstreaming, and strong community engagement, the project aims to improve the safety, dignity, and living conditions of vulnerable households in Farah, Ghazni, Helmand, Uruzgan, and Kabul provinces.
